Published on June 24, 2020, Juventus' star player Paulo Dybala spoke to CNN Sport about the challenges of playing football behind closed doors.

Without the public, Dybala believes football becomes 'boring', a sentiment he expressed in an exclusive interview with CNN Sport.

However, Dybala also questioned the decision to return to playing behind closed doors, citing concerns that social distancing rules are already being violated.

As one of the first high-profile sportsmen to test positive for COVID-19 in March, Dybala shared his personal experiences with the virus.

Despite the challenges, Dybala's career has continued to thrive, with Juventus leading the way in Serie A.

He also reflected on his time playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo for Juventus and Lionel Messi for the Argentinian national team, discussing whether the two can ever be compared.

Additionally, Dybala shared his personal story of growing up in Argentina, where the sudden death of his father at the age of 14 drove him to pursue a career in football.
