Pogba buys World Cup championship rings for entire France team

Paul Pogba has bought diamond-encrusted World Cup championship rings for the entire France team.

Les Bleus lifted the World Cup trophy in the summer of 2018, defeating Croatia 4-2 in the final at Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow.

Pogba was on the scoresheet in that match, making it 3-1 in the second half to give France the goal that would ultimately prove to be the winner.

To commemorate France's second World Cup crown, Pogba commissioned championship rings to be made for his team-mates.

Pogba presented the championship rings – usually a tradition reserved for American professional sports teams – to his team-mates while on international duty this week.
