Paul Pogba pays tribute to those killed in Paris attacks with specially-designed boots

Je Suis Paris

Simon Lloyd

Paul Pogba was present in the Stade de France earlier this month as the Parisian terrorist attacks unfolded.

On television footage of the friendly between France and Germany, explosions could be heard above the crowd as suicide bombers detonated their explosive devices outside the stadium after being refused entry.

As Juventus took on Manchester City in their Champions League tie in Turin, Pogba paid his own tribute to those killed in the French capital by wearing customised pair of boots.

As can be seen in the picture, the boots were covered by the French Tricolore flag.

During the game, Pogba pulled off what would have been the greatest assist of the year were it not for an offside flag.
