The Argentinian has been present on numerous occasions when his teammates received racist insults from the Italya stands. Among other things, last April, when teammate Moise Kean was subjected to racist misgivings by Cagliari's supporters, in the form of aplomb. Cagliari escaped without punishment.
- It was really no easy situation for him and I have experienced similar situations with other teammates in Juventus. Racism takes place in many arenas in Italy. That has happened to Mario Balotelli, Miralem Pjanic and the penalty has to be tougher, Dybala told CNN.
Racism has been prevalent in Italy for a long time. But now Dybala is calling on the authorities in Italy to take action - once and for all.
- If society, in this case the Italian rulers, decides not to do anything, the players should act. We are talking about one of the greatest championships in the world, which millions of people are watching. If they see that racism continues to spread without anyone doing anything, people will continue to be racist.
"Fortunately, my family taught me differently"On May 25, a black man named George Floyd died in Minneapolis after a policeman stood with his knee on his back. This contributed to protests escalating around the world, where several sports clubs stood behind the prosthetics.
Dybala now urges everyone, regardless of skin color, to work hard against racism.
- Sometimes it is difficult to understand what it is like for those who experience racism, because you do not know it yourself. Fortunately, my family taught me differently, so I respect people for who they are, for their way of thinking and not for how they are dressed, what country they come from or their skin color.
Italian football resumes this weekend, with Juventus meeting Milan in the Italian Cup on Friday.
