French midfielder Paul Pogba is under fire following a rude gesture at the end of the France-Albania Euro 2016 game played yesterday.

Soon after Payet scored the second goal, the Juventus player rudely gestured at the media, a sign that was caught by the cameras.

Pogba did not start the game amid accusations of not showing his true colours in the first game France played against Romania. He came on as a substitute in the second half.

“If he made that gesture, he should be punished,” coach Didier Dechamps said.
