Juventus forward Paulo Dybala does not want to be put in the same
bracket as Lionel Messi despite downing the Barcelona icon and his
illustrious team-mates.
Dybala netted a brilliant first-half brace as the Serie A
titleholders comprehensively beat Barca 3-0 in the first leg of their
Champions League quarter-final at Juventus Stadium.
Already viewed in some quarters as Messi's heir for the Argentina
national team, Dybala's match-winning display brought forth further
superlatives, with veteran Juve goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon saying he
has the ability to be considered one of the three best players in the
world.
Nevertheless, Dybala was keen to stay in the moment after a dominant
victory that will live long in the memory – provided Massimiliano
Allegri's side avoid the type of improbable capitulation Paris
Saint-
Germain suffered in the previous round at Camp Nou.
"Messi is Messi, the one who plays for Barca," he told TV3
"I'm Paulo, I'm happy but we know that it will not end here and that it will not be easy at Camp Nou.
"I try to enjoy these moments and not think about what's going to happen.
"I will do everything to get as far as possible."
