The Argentinean striker revealed the utmost respect for Barcelona's ace, while also hitting back at Cristiano Ronaldo's goal scoring abilities.

Everyone has talked about Paulo Dybala joining Barcelona to play with Lionel Messi, but what if it was the other way around?

In an interview with Corriere della Sera, the young Argentinean striker revealed he would be delighted if "La Pulga" joined Juventus in the next few years, so that he could have one of his dreams come true.

"I really admire Messi, he does things no one can do with the ball. Given that Ronaldinho is no longer playing, I would really love it if Juventus signed Messi in the near future," Dybala stated.

The 22-year old also referred to how he's managed to live up to the expectations surrounding his transfer, considering Juventus paid Palermo more than 40 million euros.

"I've always had to deal with pressure, since all the clubs that have signed me have paid a lot for my services. Honestly, I'm just happy about the fact that people have forgotten about that sort of thing, because no amount of money ends up playing football," Dybala added.

Finally, the Argentinean striker backed Paul Pogba's words about Messi's eternal rival, Cristiano Ronaldo. According to Dybala, the Portuguese ace wouldn't have it that easy to score a big amount of goals if he played with a team from the Italian top flight.

"I have to say I agree. Maybe the Italian championship is not the nicest league out there, but it's surely is one of the toughest. Cristiano wouldn't score as many goals here, because football has a more tactical approach here," Dybala concluded.

The South American footballer has scored 14 goals and recorded eight assists for Juventus this season, playing a key role in Juventus' quest for another Scudetto.
