And now Higuain has heaped praise on Dybala for his incredible performances after joining Juventus. He went on to say, that the Dybala has all the potential to follow the footsteps of Argentina captain and Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi.

Higuain said: “Dybala and Messi are a lot like each other. Messi is the best and he shows it every day.”

“Paulo is still young, he’s 23 years old and depends on what’s coming in the future, he has all the characteristics to become one of the best players.”

“It has to have a great mental strength. When reaching so fast at high levels it is not easy to stay there for many years.”

“There will be many ups and downs and you will always have to keep a balance and not listen to criticism and praise.”
