Paulo Dybala – Then
Paulo Dybala’s parents prophesied that he would become a great soccer player one day, even before his mother, Alicia de Dybala, gave birth to him. His father claimed that one of his three sons would become an international star, though he had no idea which of his three sons would fulfill the prophecy.
The family lived in a modest neighborhood in Cordoba, Argentina, where Paulo and his brothers, like every other child in the area, played soccer at every chance they had. At 17 years old, Paulo had already surpassed the expectations of a high school soccer player, and the Primera B Nacional team secured him as their striker.
