We've all lost our temper when things haven't gone our way. Whether that is a last-minute penalty conceded on FIFA or seeing a seven turned over just when you need an ace in a game of cards.

We all react differently; some tut, others bang their fists on the table. But a few, as is the case with Paul Pogba, take the extreme measure of banning friends from their house.

Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma, who is currently on loan at Stoke, revealed that is exactly what the Manchester United superstar did after he lost a game of Uno.

The France team-mates almost came to blows as Pogba's competitive streak got the better of him following Zouma's masterful Uno playing — but all was settled in the end.


'He doesn't like to lose when we play card games, like Uno, he doesn't like to lose,' Zouma told Goal.

'He is the same guy as before, he hasn't changed. The other day, I went to his house and beat him. He was so, so, so angry.

'He didn't want me to come anymore. 'He told me "don't come anymore to my house". I said "my friend, please, it's only Uno we're talking about".'

WHAT IS UNO?

Uno is an American card game which is played with a specially printed deck. The game was originally developed in 1971  and is branded in the 'Crazy Eights' family of card games.

The aim of the game is to be the first player to score 500 points, achieved (usually over several rounds of play) by a player discarding all of their cards and earning points corresponding to the value of the remaining cards still held by the other players.

Zouma, however, didn't miss an opportunity to poke fun at his countryman — aiming a dig at his elaborate hairstyles and famous 'dab' celebration.

But the 23-year-old insisted we should not be fooled by Pogba's peacocking off the pitch, as his football does the talking on it.

'You have to say, he loves doing haircuts, he loves doing that,' Zouma added. 

'Dabbing, I told him to stop but he won't stop but you know, it is good.

'Pogba is one of the best players, he's got everything. That's why people talk about him, because he's so, so good.'
