Is Paulo Dybala the next Lionel Messi or Diego Maradona?

[Leo23]

or he is not in their league?

do you think he will follow the other two greatest argentinian footballers of all time and wear #10 for barcelona one day?

I had been hearing a lot about him for past six months and even Dani Alves compared him to a young Messi

So in the past 2 weeks I have watched him closely.

Against Juve and over the weekend when he scored a hatrick

He doesnt strike me as being in their league in all honesty

His game isnt as expansive either

and he is23 already.

Messi was at a much higher level at that age

 

[Asif khan]

Not even close to those two phenomenons.

 

[Leo23]

i am new to football so please forgive me if this sounds nonsense

i started watching football regularly like 2 weeks ago and i have decided that dybala is my favorite player and juventus is my favorite club and argentina is my favorite national team

before that i used to watch world cups only and would support brazil and would also use them on fifa or pes

his playing style looks very similar to messi and he scores almost every game

why is that?

are you barca fan or just a messi fan?

how would you compare dybala to neymar?

yes the idea is same

play on the left and cut in to get in the game and create chances

however Messi's dribbling and close control is sth else and Dybala wont reach that level. His finall balls are nowhere near Messi's either.

His long shots are superior to Messi's though.

And this season his goal output has increased a lot but its only early days ofcourse.

Overall easily among the best under 25 players in the world though and if he transfers he'll certainly be in the Mbappe price range

But when you are talking about Messi, Maradona you are talking abot the top 3-4 best players of all time

i think both messi and dybala play on the right side

don't know about mbappe. haven't watched much of psg but i have realized that neymar is probably the biggest super star these days and probably the most skillful as well

yes my mistake

i meant play on the right and cut in with the left foot

 

[finalfantasy7]

He's a very good player - he's very similar player to messi.
He will never be in messi league not as good as messi with the ball at his feet while running and his finishing ability is thr.

He will be nearly as good.

You have got to remember - he plays in a defensive league which is well organised and not having the capable players such as Iniesta or Xavi - which messi did need.

Juve system does not suit dybala - like Zidane he will move to Spain within 2 yrs

 

[Heisenberg]

At his age, Messi was already the best in the world and talk of GOAT had started.

 

[Protea Fan]

At the age of 25 messi had 4 ballon'd or's.Firstly too make it simple dybala is simply no match for him

Generally people really tend to compare dybala with messi just because

He’s Argentinian
He’s left-footed
He’s really talented
He's a goal scorer

Until Messi, every argentinian star was the next Maradona.And they were all so so different.You’ve had Crespo, Saviola, Aguero, Tevez, Riquelme,and many others that were deemed Maradona’s successor

Dybala will be a big star.He will do justice to that no.10 jersey but i don't know whether he will be half good as messi or can accomplish anything close to the giant

 

[Asif khan]

Because Messi is a once in a lifetime player, Dybala is not.

Barca fan and Neymar is better than Dybala too IMHO, seems to enjoy responsibility more than Dybala and is a lot quicker too.
