Juventus striker Paulo Dybala believes footballing giants Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo get too many goals because of the 'careless' nature of Spanish football.
The Argentinian insists the superstars would not score 80-90 goals if they played in Italy.

Dybala has been an inspiring force this season for the Bianchoneri, who sealed their fifth successive Serie A title last week, netting 16 goals.
But his numbers pale before the exploits of Messi and Ronaldo, who hit the target more than 50 times in a season on a regular basis.
"I will say that in Italy there is much better defending and it's a tactical type of football," FourFourTwo quoted Dybala as saying to Tuttosport.
"The little clubs do not play in a wild and careless way as they do in Spain, although Atletico Madrid are changing this mentality. Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo would not have scored 80-90 goals in Italy. Perhaps they would get 40 like [Gonzalo] Higuain but not 80."
Having spent two months sidelined this season, Messi has a tally of 37 goals for Barcelona in all competitions this season while Ronaldo has scored 47 so far.
