Uno is serious business, especially if you’re Paul Pogba. The Manchester United star hates losing so much that he has banned a friend (and fellow professional soccer player) from his house for beating him at the card game.

This is Kurt Zouma, Stoke City center back and friend of Pogba. He explains what it’s like to play games with him.
“He doesn’t like to lose when we play card games, like Uno. He doesn’t like to lose. 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 back anymore. He told me ‘Don’t come anymore to my house.’ I said ‘My friend, please, it’s only Uno we’re talking about.’”
On the one hand, this might seem super harsh. Like Zouma said, it is only Uno. On the other hand, if you’ve ever experienced being down to one card and getting hit with a Draw Four, then you know how infuriating it is.
Petty? Sure. Understandable? Absolutely.
