THE BIGGER PICTURE: Ibrahimovic has been a teammate of Messi at Barcelona, while Pogba formed part of France’s triumphant squad from 2018 and was only ruled out of the defence of that crown after picking up an untimely pre-tournament injury.
WHAT NEXT? Messi is looking to bring the curtain down on his iconic international career in style, with the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner seeking to emulate the efforts of fellow countryman Diego Maradona – who savoured World Cup glory back in 1986.
