The match between Rennes and Monaco witnessed a notable event in the French Ligue 1, as French star Paul Pogba returned to the field after an absence of 811 days, coming on as a substitute in the second half of the encounter held at Roazhon Park.

The French star participated in the 85th minute of the match, marking his first appearance since his last game on September 3, 2023, as he had been suspended due to a doping violation.

Pogba's return came at a difficult time for Monaco, with the team trailing 4-0 against Rennes, but his entry sparked widespread reaction among the fans who celebrated the comeback of one of the most prominent French talents of the last decade.

The match ended with Monaco losing 4-1 in the 13th round of the French Ligue 1 competition.
