Paulo Dybala and Matteo Guendouzi caused a stir in the Rome derby last Saturday. In the 66th minute of the match, the two players came to blows in front of the referee. Even when the referee was able to separate the two brawlers, Dybala did not let up and provoked the Frenchman with his shin guard.

A photo of the Argentinian with the World Cup trophy could be seen on it. As a reminder, Argentina had dramatically beaten France in the 2022 final. Guendouzi was on the bench at the time and had to watch Dybala crown himself world champion.

Videos currently circulating online show the AS Roma striker reaching for his socks, pulling out his schooner and holding it under his opponent's nose. 

Dybala also had the last laugh at club level on Saturday, with Daniele De Rossi's side winning 1-0 against Lazio thanks to Gianluca Mancini's goal (42').
