The Dybalamask

Dybala celebrates his goals in two ways. The first, a Messiesque celebration with two fingers pointing towards the sky, which is his way of dedicating his goals to his late father Adolfo Dybala – who lost his battle against Pancreatic cancer when Dybala was young. However, it is his second celebration which has caught the eye of the world – the ‘Dybalamask’.

When he dons the Dybalamask, he covers his face – below the nose – with his hands in a manner which is akin to what a mask does. So what exactly does the celebration mean? Well, we will leave it for the Argentine to explain: “Dybalamask is really simple: it's the mask of a gladiator! When we struggle, sometimes we must wear our warrior mask to be stronger, without losing our smile and kindness!”
