Dybala out to be 'first among humans' behind Messi and Ronaldo

Juventus striker Paulo Dybala insists he cannot match the achievements of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, and is instead out to be "first among the humans".

The Argentina international has scored 72 goals in just 147 appearances for the Bianconeri, and at the age of 24 Dybala is among the next generation of players looking to break the duopoly of Juventus team-mate Ronaldo and Barcelona's Messi.

Alessandro Del Piero has tipped Dybala and PSG star Kylian Mbappe to be take over from the two superstars, but the forward is insistent that no mere mortal can ascend to the throne while the eternal rivals are still playing.
