Former Juventus midfielder Michael Laudrup urges people to stop comparing Paulo Dybala to Lionel Messi – “I don’t think it benefits him”.
La Joya has been compared with the Barcelona superstar, but Laudrup thinks it’s unfair to compare anyone with one of the greatest players of all time.
“He’s a talent, the problem I think is that he’s from Argentina,” the former Bianconeri star told BeIn Sports.

“He’s a talent, the problem I think is that he’s from Argentina,” the former Bianconeri star told BeIn Sports.
“He’s another player that people like to say ‘he could be the next Messi’. No. There is no next Messi now, to see the next Messi we will have to wait… well, I don’t think I will see the next Messi in my lifetime.
“You don’t see a player like that every 10 years or every 15. But this is the standard you use. He [Dybala] is from Argentina, he’s left-footed, he’s not so tall, the way he moves…
“But I don’t think it benefits him that he’s compared to Messi, because he’s no Messi. He’s a very talented player, but he’s no Messi.”
