He looks very low on confidence.
I'm not particularly worried about his general play. He had some mistakes e.g. one bad cross field pass to stop a good break in the second half. But other times he lost possession were generally where he got a bad pass and had a defender on him. He did some decent link up too and played in Cuadrado, did well before Dybala's free-kick.
What was worrying was his finishing and movement to get in goal scoring positions. I'm still confident he will get back on form, all strikers go through these phases, but he needs some goals. He lives for scoring, once he gets a few more I'm confident everything else will fall into place.

It's not about certainty. It's about giving yourself the best chance to reach a goal in mind. Juve had already won five scudetti and made the Champions League final but it was proclaimed repeatedly that Higuain would "take us to the next level". Higuain was bought to give the best chance of winning the Champions League. It's no different to PSG. You really think they're buying Neymar to assure themselves of the Ligue and a quarter final? They're trying to go all the way.
