Paulo Dybala on Sunday confirmed his departure from Juventus. The 28-year-old played 78 minutes in Juventus’ 2-2 draw with Lazio in what will be his final game at the Allianz Stadium. Alongside Giorgio Chiellini, Dybala was honoured after the match, and the Argentine footballer couldn’t hold back his own emotions as he was celebrated by supporters. A stoppage-time goal from Sergej Milinkovic-Savic earned Lazio a dramatic 2-2 draw at Juventus in Serie A on Monday, a point that sealed the Rome club’s spot in next season’s Europa League. Meanwhile Juve are already assured of a fourth-place finish this term.

Dybala joined the Bianconeri from Palermo in 2015 and was a key member of the team that won five consecutive Serie A titles. He also won the Coppa Italia on four occasions and also played in Juve’s Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid. He was named to the Serie A Team of the Year four times. Dybala will leave the club this summer, having played 291 games while scoring 115 goals.
“It is difficult to find the right words to say bye to you,” Dybala addressed fans in a statement posted to his social media platforms. “There are so many years and so many emotions all together. I thought we would have stayed together a few more years but destiny has led us down different paths. I will never forget everything you gave me; every match, every goal. I have grown up, learnt with you. I have lived a dream. It has been seven magical years with 12 trophies and 115 goals that no one can ever take away. Ever. Thank you for supporting me during the difficult moments.”
“Thank you to those who have been with me these years: from the first to the last, from fans to the those within the club, everyone, managers and team-mates, staff and directors. Wearing this important shirt alongside the captain’s armband has been one of the proudest moments of my life, which I one day hope to show my children and grandchildren. Tomorrow will be my last match with this shirt, it’s difficult to imagine but it will be our last goodbye. It won’t be easy but will step onto the pitch with a smile and my head held high, knowing I gave everything for you.”
