#1 Better Ballon d’Or chance with talented France squad
Paul Pogba is very fortunate to be part of a very talented group of French players in the national team. Les Bleus are one of the favourites for the 2018 World Cup in Russia and the young nature of their squad suggests that they can dominate world football for the next decade.

That only means Paul Pogba has the chance to be at the heart of this golden generation of stars. The 25-year-old has often played his best when with the national team and if he can replicate such high standard performances in major tournaments, then the Ballon d’Or could be his.
Russia 2018 may have come too early, but Euro 2020 and World Cup 2022 are just around the corner and that could be Pogba’s chance to finally stake a claim. By that time, Ronaldo and Messi would have retired, giving him a better chance of winning the Ballon d'Or.
Can you imagine what a triumph at the Euros or World Cup will mean for Pogba if he leads France to glory? Well, it would most definitely be rewarded with a Ballon d’Or nomination and a chance to win the prestigious award.
