Ansu Fati reveals how Paul Pogba helped save his career at Monaco

Monaco attacker Ansu Fati has detailed the special relationship he built with Paul Pogba during their time together. The duo formed a strong connection throughout the 2025-26 campaign, and despite the Frenchman's departure in August, the two remain extremely close.

Fati explained that Pogba acted as a vital mentor during his transition period after arriving from Barcelona. Having an experienced, Spanish-speaking figure in the dressing room proved essential for the young forward's adaptation to French football.

He is like a big brother to me. Last year, in particular, he was a huge help to me. He speaks very good Spanish, so things were much simpler. We were together again on Friday. Whenever we can, we try to chat and spend time together. We talk a lot about football, but also about life in general. Ansu Fati

This off-pitch support has been significant as Fati works to revitalize his career. After settling into the squad, the attacker has already made an impact on the field, proving decisive in Monaco's 2-1 victory over CSKA Sofia in the European Conference League.

Now fully recovered from a calf issue, Fati is determined to secure a consistent spot in the starting lineup. He remains a vocal supporter of his friend, expressing hope that Pogba will soon return to competitive action as the midfielder weighs his next career moves.
