World Cup winner Marco Tardelli is convinced more is to come from Juventus striker Paulo Dybala.

Dybala has scored 12 goals in eight games so far this season, but was unable to find the back of the net in the 3-0 Champions League defeat to Barcelona.

“He's improved a lot, but I still expect something more from him," Tardelli told Corriere dello Sport.

“There's no doubt he's a great player, but to be the new [Lionel] Messi he needs to drag the team forward in the Champions League too, not just in the league."

Tardelli was also asked about the retirement of Roma icon Francesco Totti.

“I'm sorry he's not there anymore, because he was one of the last Italian superstars," Tardelli lamented.

“In our football there are no more champions like Totti, [Alex] Del Piero and [Roberto] Baggio. I hope sooner or later we'll have someone on the same level."
