Mathias Pogba

Mathias Pogba is a figure I can't help viewing with mixed feelings. The Guinean forward, twin of Florentin and older brother of Paul, had a real career of his own, from Celta Vigo's youth ranks to Wrexham and Crewe Alexandra, and he represented Guinea. But the world mostly knows him as someone's brother, and his name surfaces in tangled controversies tied to that family. Living forever under the prefix of being a famous sibling looks exhausting, with the light and the shadow both oversized. I don't envy that position, and I try to remember the player behind the headlines.

Mathias Fassou Pogba (born 19 August 1990) is a Guinean former professional footballer who played as a forward. His twin brother Florentin and younger brother Paul are also professional footballers. Having started his career as a youth at Celta Vigo, Pogba played briefly for Quimper in France before following his brother Paul to the United Kingdom, where he played for Wrexham and Crewe Alexandra.
