Tottenham Hotspur vs Juventus: 5 reasons why Kane will outshine Dybala

#5 Kane is a big game player

Dybala failed to impress in last season's Champions League final

Since he shot to stardom in 2014/15, opposing fans have accused Kane of a number of things – being overrated, being a one-season wonder, and so on – but one thing it’s hard to accuse him of being is a flat-track bully. Kane is essentially just as dangerous against stronger sides as he is against the weaker ones, but this season, in particular, he’s proven himself to be a true big-game player.

In the Champions League he’s been fantastic – scoring three and assisting in one over two victories against Borussia Dortmund, and although he didn’t score in either of Tottenham’s games against Real Madrid, he was still one of their key men – setting up Christian Eriksen’s goal in Spurs’ 3-1 victory over the European champions at Wembley. And of course, he fired Tottenham’s first goal in the first leg against Juventus as they came from 2 behind to draw 2-2.

In comparison, when it came down to the biggest game of last season – Juventus’ Champions League final match with Real Madrid – Dybala simply went missing. He was supposed to be Juve’s key man and yet he was booked after 12 minutes and substituted after 78 as the Old Lady lost 4-1. All recent evidence suggests that Kane is the man who delivers on the big occasion – and that’s why he’ll outshine Dybala on Wednesday night.
