Juventus are risking burning Dybala out, fears Laudrup - Michael Laudrup fears Juventus are placing too much responsibility on the shoulders of Paulo Dybala ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League clash against Bayern Munich.

The Argentina international, a summer signing from Palermo, has been in sensational form recently with his goals propelling the Old Lady to the summit of Serie A.

But former Juve star Laudrup believes the club risk burning the 22-year-old out as they continue to rely on his performances in an attempt to progress in Europe’s premier club competition.

“It is very difficult to say,” Laudrup replied when asked by Goal if Dybala is currently one of the best players in the world. “I think we live in a moment where there is too much pressure on young players. We need to be calmer, let them grow and evolve at their own pace.

“I’m obviously aware that there is little time to be calm at the biggest clubs because there is so much expectation but we need to give players time.

“There is a serious danger of burning them out and that’s a risk for Dybala at the moment.”

Laudrup, a former Serie A winner with Juve, believes his old side’s match with Bayern Munich is almost too tight to call but fears the goals of Robert Lewandowski and the tactical mind of Pep Guardiola will prove decisive.

“It is one of the biggest draws at this stage of the competition,” he added. “Juventus were one of the finalists last season and won two titles in Italy.

“It is about 55-60 per cent in Bayern’s favour. They have Lewandowski, who is a goal machine. The main ingredient though is Guardiola. Everyone knows he is leaving, but everyone wants to win. I have no doubt the Champions League is the priority for Bayern and for Guardiola.”
