Fabio Capello: 'Wrong to compare Paulo Dybala to Lionel Messi'

Former Juventus boss Fabio Capello says that it is wrong to compare Old Lady forward Paulo Dybala to Barcelona's Lionel Messi.

Former Juventus boss Fabio Capello has played down suggestions that Paulo Dybala could have a similar career to Barcelona's Lionel Messi.

Dybala, 21, who joined Juve from Palermo in the summer transfer window, has been compared to his fellow Argentine, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport.

Fabio has said that while Dybala 'has a lot of qualities', it is wrong to put the striker in the same bracket as Messi.

"Messi was already doing certain things at 17 at Barcelona that made one realise that he would become a phenomenon," Capello told Gazzetta dello Sport.

"Dybala needs time to better understand how to play for a big team. However, he has all the qualities to do so - imagination, dribbling and a left for that he knows how to hurt teams with."

Dybala has scored three goals in four games for Juve thus far this season.
