A few years ago, Paulo Dybala was a player on the rise after essaying a starring role in Juventus' run to the final of the 2017 Champions League. The Argentine international scored 22 league goals in the following season, and it was expected that he would build upon that.

However, the arrival of Cristaino Ronaldo in the summer of 2018 reduced Dybala to a bit-part player in the squad. During the course of the recent transfer window, there were serious indications that Dybala was on his way out of Italy, with numerous clubs submitting bids.

As it turned out, none of those came to fruition, and the 25-year-old has been slowly going about his business for Maurizio Sarri.

Against SPAL, Dybala was deployed as the focal point of attack alongside Ronaldo in a 4-3-1-2 formation, and the former Palermo man shone like a million stars.

He had a total of six shots, with SPAL goalkeeper Etrit Berisha doing well to stop him on two occasions. Dybala also provided the assist for Juventus' second goal with an exquisite cross in the 78th minute.

Furthermore, he completed 80% of his passes, played in two key passes and completed three dribbles while also attempting nine crosses out of which two were accurate.
