Paulo Dybala: I would love to play with Lionel Messi

Paulo Dybala, the new star of Juventus, did not know that Robert Fernandez, Barcelona's sporting director, was in Turin on Sunday to watch him take on Roma in Serie A. A game in which Dybala had an important role, keping his good form going, since the Argentine arrived at Juventus from Palermo. 

Once the game was over he spoke in the mixed zone and was asked about Fernandez's presence, saying: "To tell you the truth I had no idea there were people from FC Barcelona in the stands.

"It makes me happy that things are going well, the team's working hard and we will show we are capable of giving more in the future, we have to continue like this."

Of the words from Leo Messi praising him, Dybala added: "I think that when Leo Messi spoke about me it was in relation to the Argentine national team. I think that he said he had told Tata Martino. If it's like that, that he feels admiration for me, I'm very grateful." 

He was asked again if he'd like to play with Messi, and said: "I'd love to play with Messi." For the moment that means the national team. Later? Who knows...
