“It’s not just a goal celebration, it has a message," Dybala said. 

"To always keep moving forward, whatever happens. In order to fight, you have to wear a mask – like gladiators do.”

Playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo this season, Dybala has scored six times across the Serie A and UEFA Champions League this season giving him more than a few chances to pull out his iconic celebration.

A Dybala documentary called “Behind The Mask” will be released by adidas on December 6 as we get a sneak peek at the player lurking beneath the gladiator facade.
