Juventus defender, Dani Alves, has put his words on the well-known Player's Tribune portal. An open heart statement that starts from his arrival at Juventus and focuses on the comparison between Messi and Dybala, and eventually comes to the Cardiff final against Cristiano Ronaldo's Real Madrid.

DYBALA OR MESSI - "Sometimes I think life is like a cycle, I can not get rid of these Argentineans, I had Messi and I now have at Juve Dybala. But genes follow me everywhere, one day in training I saw in Dybala that which I had seen in Messi. Not only pure talent, but talent coupled with a desire to conquer the world."

APPROACH AT JUVE - "When I came to Juve this year it was as if I had left home, when I came to Turin it was like going back to school. I always wanted my whole life  to be in a place where you look especially to defending. At first I wanted to show that I respected their philosophy and their history. Then I tried to show them what I could do and have convinced them ."

THE FINAL - "At Barcelona I played by memory, but with Juventus it is different. Our collective mentality has led us to the Champions League final. When we begin the match, we will simply have to find a way to win. Winning is not just a goal, it is an obsession, there is no excuse. As always, I will study Cristiano Ronaldo as if it were an obsession."
