Heirs To The Throne: Five players who could take over after Messi and Ronaldo

FIFA Ballon d'Or Gala 2014

4. Paulo Dybala (Juventus, 24)

Juventus v SSC Napoli - Serie A

Nicknamed 'La Joya' (The Jewel), Dybala is known for his dribbling skills, balance and close control. Widely considered to be a highly talented prospect in world football, Dybala possesses all the skills to be the best in the world.

Considered by many Argentines as the natural heir to Messi, Dybala's Argentina debut turned into a nightmare after he was shown a straight red card (reminds you of someone, doesn't it? ). With a debut similar to Messi's, Argentina will be hoping Dybala will be able to replicate Messi-like performances on the pitch.

Dybala is the only player today to play with both Messi and Ronaldo, so learning from the best may do him a world of good, and at 24, he still has a lot of room for improvement.
