Paulo Dybala scored his 100th goal for Bianconeri by chipping Sassulo’s goalkeeper Consigli after Dejan Kulusevski’s pass put him clean through. Dybala was later subbed off by Andre Pirlo, Mckennie came in his place.
Dybala has been injured most of the time for Turin this season. He is the only non-European player to hit 100 goals for Italian giants Juventus. Fifteen of Dybala’s 100 goals have come in the Champions League, and he is only two strikes away from equalling Filippo Inzaghi and Michel Platini (both 17) as the club’s joint third-highest scorer in the Champions League/European Cup.
Earlier Paulo Dybala had revealed that he and Cristiano Ronaldo are locked in a battle to become the first to reach 100 goals for Juventus.
“Ronaldo and I are challenging each other to reach 100 goals with Juventus. I need only one, while he still needs three. He always wants to win, even in training, and if he loses he becomes difficult to deal with for a few minutes.” Dybala told Ibai on Twitch.
