Paulo Dybala was named MVP in Juventus-Zenit and explained his ‘Platini celebration’ after the Old Lady’s 4-2 win.

The Bianconeri have qualified for the Champions League Round of 16 with two games to spare.

They are the Group H leaders with three points more than Chelsea, which they will face in the next match at Stamford Bridge on November 23.

Juventus need four points in two games to win the group.

“We played as a great team and we achieved the result. We’ve reached the first target, now we want to go to London and get the first place,” Dybala told SportMediaset.

The Argentinean striker scored a brace overtaking both Michel Platini and John Charles’ goal tally in a Black and White shirt.

Dybala imitated Platini’s celebration after his first goal.

“Platini is an idol for me and for football, I hope he sees it,” the Argentinean striker explained.

“I wanted to celebrate like this when I equalled his goal tally against Inter, but it was not the case in that game,” he added.

Dybala has six goals and four assists in ten appearances across all competitions so far this season.

His contract in Turin expires at the end of the season, but he is expected to sign a new deal in the coming weeks.
