Mata hails 'inspirational' Dybala as Juventus star joins Common Goal

Juan Mata has hailed "inspirational" Paulo Dybala after the Juventus star joined the Common Goal movement in a bid to tackle discrimination.

Dybala has become the first elite Argentine men’s player to sign up to the charity, which sees members commit at least 1% of their salary to a collective fund that invests in organisations dedicated to helping vulnerable children across the world.

The 26-year-old, who has just won his fifth Serie A title in a row, will lead a football-based project to try and eradicate the effects of violence, racism and discrimination in disadvantaged communities in Rwanda, Israel, Colombia, Argentina, India, Germany and Pakistan.
