Paul Pogba has defended France team-mate Kylian Mbappe after his quiet Euro 2020.

The PSG striker failed to register a goal for France and missed the decisive penalty in the shootout loss to Switzerland at the round of 16 stage.

Speaking on Spanish TV show El Chiringuito, Pogba said: "Everyone expects him to score five goals and to be Euro Golden Boot winner but in my opinion, he created chances, worked hard, gave his soul and left everything on the pitch which is the most important thing.

"He's a great player who will learn from it, he will grow and he'll come back like never before. He's not to blame, it's down to all of us because we're all in the same boat."
