France’s World Cup winners with their rings
Taking inspiration from the NFL and NBA where winners are awarded with a ring to remember their triumph, Pogba and Antoine Griezmann decided to remember their triumph in similar fashion.
Griezmann had done it after winning the Europa League with Atletico Madrid in 2018, but only made one for himself.

Championship rings such as this one, which was given to the Denver Broncos in 2016 for winning Super Bowl 50, are common in American football and basketball
The World Cup winners were presented with the rings when they met up for international duty this week with France in action against Moldova and Iceland in their Euro 2020 qualifier double header.
“It’s a small gesture after winning a World Cup with great players,†Pogba told a press conference earlier this week.
“I consider them family. It’s a small gift from me. A small gesture like that is nothing because a World Cup is for life. This ring you can lose, but the World Cup you do not lose that.â€
Pogba later took to Instagram to show off the rings after they were brought to their Clairefontaine training base from Los Angeles, where they were made by Jason of Beverly Hills.

A LOOK INTO ANCELOTTI'S PLANS FOR REAL MADRID: Let's take a look into what we can expect from Real Madrid tactically. First off, the formation is a simple 4-3-3/4-4-2 shuttle formation. In attacking orientation, the system has a backline of 4, an assymetrical 3-man midfield, and a 3 pronged attack which will almost certainly be the BBC.
