Goals Scored - 5

Dybala was 5th in our assessment for the month of November but has climbed one place to finish at 4th among the top contenders for the Champions League Golden Boot, at the end of February.

The Argentinean ended the group stages on a good note personally, scoring Juventus' only goal in a 1-2 defeat away to Young Boys. With Cristiano Ronaldo failing to sparkle in the group stages, the onus was on the Juventus No. 10 to show his mettle and Dybala went into the knockouts as his club's top scorer in the tournament.

He was expected to continue that good form when Juventus visited Atletico Madrid for the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 tie, however, Dybala failed to stamp his authority on the night. He was marked out of the game and had very little impact as Juventus lost 0-2.

Dybala has registered 16 shots so far in the tournament, with 9 shots on target. He is averaging a goal every 87 minutes played and has scored 5 goals from 6 games so far.
