It’s amazing how truly great he was as a player for club and country. But recency bias leads some to believe that Dybala is in the same category as Platini.

That's not true tho, no one holds Dybala in in that stratosphere. Just that Dybalas long service means he got close to Platinis goal tally.


But Platini was a midfielder, not a forward like Dybala. And he played in a defensive low scoring 80s, where 16 goals won you top scorer. He had like 2-3 top scorer title as an attacking mid. Really impressive, as is the many balon d ors he won in a row.

he is not underrated. Platini is widely considered better then Zidane except for Zizou having the WC glory. His only issues is he retired "early", few people are old enough to seen him regularly, and his post retirement politician career smears his name and rep alot, he became a toxic and corrupt high level official.
