Comparisons between Paulo Dybala and Lionel Messi are laughable in the eyes of Antonio Cassano, with the Juventus forward “not a champion”.
A bright start to the season for a star turn in Turin saw him placed in a bracket alongside a fellow Argentine at Barcelona .
Dybala has, however, dipped since then, while Messi has remained a mercurial presence at Camp Nou and a model of consistency.
Cassano believes it is those qualities were separate two countrymen, with it wrong to suggest that a 24-year-old yet to fulfil his true potential is on the same level as a five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
