Paul Pogba sends message to Rashford, Saka and Sancho following penalty miss in England's EURO 2020 Final defeat

  Paul Pogba has taken to social media to send a message to Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Bukayo Saka following their penalty miss in England's EURO 2020 final defeat to Italy. The Three Lions suffered a 3-2 defeat on penalties as Rashford, Sancho and Saka missed. Meanwhile, Andrea Belloti and Jorginho missed for Italy. England were the first to open the score as Luke Shaw scored at the second minute, however, after Leonardo Bonucci equalised in the second half, the game was taken to the extra time and after the extra time the score stayed the same (1-1) and the game was decided on penalties. Following the game, Rashford, Sancho and Saka were a subject of racist abuse. Pogba posted a picture of the trio on his Instagram account and wrote: "✊🏾@MarcusRashford, @sanchooo10, @bukayosaka87, "I am PROUD OF YOU. You win some, you lose some. You took the courage to take the penalties and you showed your worth to help your country reach the final. "We cannot tolerate or stand for racism anymore and we will never stop combatting it. You boys should hold your heads high and be proud of your confidence. You are examples of this beautiful game. Never forget that. Be proud of yourselves, the World of football is proud of you!"
