Pogba has made just a handful of appearances for new club Monaco as he continues to work his way back into action after a long period away from the pitch.
The 32-year-old was allowed to return to training in January 2025, but it wasn't until this summer that a club signed him as they aimed to help the former Manchester United and Juventus star back to his best.
Pogba won the Best Comeback Award at the Globe Soccer Awards 2025 in Dubai this week, as he was recognized for his hard work in making his way back to the professional game.
"It wasn't easy...It was a very important moment for me, in my life, to see what really, the people that were really there for you, the people that really love you when you are outside the shiny moment.
"This award means a lot, for me and for my wife...we've gone through so much together. She helped me a lot, and my kids kept me smiling."
He then thanked Ronaldo, who he believes inspires every footballer after two decades of being one of the best talents in the world.
Pogba added, "Cristiano, you are here, you have inspired all of us as a soccer player. You did this for the next generation. Big thank you, Cristiano."
