It took Paul Pogba a few minutes to show everyone what Juventus have been missing this season

Paul Pogba proved he hasn’t lost his touch after making his long-awaited second debut for Juventus in his side’s 4-2 win over Torino.

The 29-year-old French midfielder made his sensational return to Turin last summer after his contract with Manchester United expired at the end of last season.

However, Pogba has been marred with a long-term knee injury he picked up in pre-season with Juventus and even missed France’s 2022 World Cup campaign in Qatar.

The former United star’s future at the Old Lady was plunged into uncertainty after he was sidelined for more than half of Juventus’ Serie A matches this season.

Pogba, who underwent successful surgery on his injury, came off the bench in the 69th minute and replaced Enzo Barrenechea in Juventus’ clash on Tuesday.

The footage quickly made the rounds on social media of the 2018 World Cup winner exacting his influence and presence in the Juventus midfield.

An under-pressure Pogba superbly controlled the ball with his chest and effortlessly pushed the ball forward with his head to help launch Juventus’ counterattack.

Fans believe that the Juventus midfield maestro is finally back to make a lasting mark for the Old Lady, with one supporter hopeful he “finds his old 2015 level again.”

And one fan posted: “I’ve missed [Paul Pogba] so much, man So glad he’s back on his feet. I hope he has a splendid remainder of the season.”
