WATCH: The stupid offside rule robbed us of one of football’s great assists

Paul Pogba is still a genius.

The offside flag may have robbed him of one of the great European assists of all time but his ability to do this still astounds us. During the first half of Juventus' Champions League tie against Manchester City, the Frenchman held off the challenge of Bacary Sagna before dragging the ball out of the reach of Martin Demichelis and flicking it into the path of Paulo Dybala. The Argentine had strayed offside but, still, this is absolutely ludicrous.
