Where does the “La doublette Kanté Pogba” meme come from?
N'Golo Kanté, born in 1991 in Paris, and Paul Pogba, a French international also raised in the Paris region, long formed the heart of the French national team's midfield. Kanté, known for his relentless defensive work and his ability to win back balls all over the pitch, complemented Pogba, who could switch play with long passes and contribute offensively. This complementarity stood out especially during France's winning run at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, where their partnership in midfield was often presented as one of the pillars of the title. The phrase “Kanté-Pogba duo” was later picked up by sports media and then on social networks to describe any complementary pairing that works flawlessly together.
