Paulo DYBALA scores hattrick for Juventus

Paulo DYBALA is absolutely on fire this season.

La Joya (the jewel) has now scored four goals in two Serie A matches to begin the 2017-2018 campaign. Now with the legendary number 10 on his back, Paulo scored three goals, all three different for Juventus, in their 4-2 comeback win against Genoa. There was also a lovely piece of skill by him which is included below.

Genoa took a 2-0 lead against the reigning Serie A champions but Paulo responded with two goals. The first came in the 14th minute with a cool finish from inside the area. The second came in the 45th minute when he hit a well struck penalty (MESSI missed a penalty for Barcelona). Paulo completed his hat trick in the 90th minute following a finish from a very tight angle.

This number 10 will be meeting up with Barcelona’s number 10 Lionel MESSI for Argentina’s World Cup Qualifying matches later next week.

Lionel MESSI reaches 350 league goals with Barcelona

Lionel MESSI reached 350 goals for Barcelona on Saturday in their La Liga victory.

It’s been a rollercoaster transfer window for Barcelona with Lionel MESSI still not signing his renewal contract. Regardless, after hitting the post three times last weekend, MESSI opened his La Liga scoring account for the season in their 2-0 victory against Alaves.

However, before scoring his goal, the Argentina captain missed a penalty kick as his spot kick was saved. But MESSI wasn’t going to go scoreless in his first two Matchdays as his shot on target was deflected in. That goal was his 350th league goal for Barcelona as he became only the second player in history to reach that milestone with a European club, with the first being the legendary Gerd MULLER for Bayern Munich. MESSI is only 15 goals away from becoming the all time top scorer of a single top level league. Once more, MULLER holds the records with 365 goals.
