#4 Paulo Dybala announced to the world – He is not the next Messi but the first Dybala
Paulo Dybala has often been touted as the next Lionel Messi and the heir apparent to the 29-year-old in the Argentine setup. However, before the game, the Juventus star had come out and claimed that he is not the next Lionel Messi, instead, he was the first Paulo Dybala. How right was he?
The 23-year-old turned inside the box to bury Juan Cuadrado’s pass into the back of the net past a diving Ter Stegen, before finishing an excellent Juve counter after Barca were denied excellently by Buffon on the other end – only seconds ago.
Dybala has age on his side and if he develops on his showing from last night, sky is the limit for the young Argentine. It is hard to envisage any player hitting the heights that Messi has managed at Barcelona but with both Real Madrid and the Catalan giants waiting in the wings to sign him up, a move to one of them could prove to be pedestal that he needs to become one of the best, if not the best, in the world.
