#2 He could have represented Poland or Italy but chose to represent Argentina
La Joya had the option to choose between three countries to represent on the international stage – Argentina, Poland and Italy. Dybala’s grandfather was Polish and had to flee the country during World War II before he settled in Argentina.
The Juventus striker had the opportunity to represent Gli Azzurri because his family also had roots in the country through his maternal side. Dybala’s maternal grandmother – Da Messa – was from the Province of Naples and he has also obtained Italian citizenship.
However, the forward chose to represent Argentina – as he feels Argentine and always dreamt of representing La Albiceleste.
