Paulo Dybala admits Max Allegri “was right to substitute me” in the 1-1 Champions League draw with Borussia Monchengladbach.
The Argentine went off the field very slowly, earning a yellow card for time-wasting, after Hernanes had been sent off.
“We faced a match that was not easy and in the second half were playing the way we wanted to until the red card changed the game,” Dybala told Mediaset Premium.

“We faced a match that was not easy and in the second half were playing the way we wanted to until the red card changed the game,” Dybala told Mediaset Premium.
“We all want to play, but the Coach was right to substitute me. We needed someone with fresh legs who could turn the match around. In the circumstances, we picked up an important point.”
He was asked whether the words of veterans Gigi Buffon and Patrice Evra had spurred the new arrivals into action.
“We talked about it in the locker room. Many new players came in this season and we want to grow. Their words will really help us youngsters to improve.”
