Paul Pogba blows out 30 candles today.

He, like all of us, would have preferred to have been celebrating as part of the squad departing for Freiburg, where tomorrow Juve play for a place in the quarter-finals of the Europa League, but unfortunately it is not possible.

So on this day we simply want to hug Paul, remind him how important he is to us, and tell him that we know that the best gift will be his return to the pitch.
