Paulo Dybala trolls Matteo Guendouzi with 'top-tier s***housery' thanks to shin pad

Things got a little heated during the Rome derby between AS Roma and Lazio on Saturday, with 2022 World Cup final foes Paulo Dybala and Matteo Guendouzi almost coming to blows

Paulo Dybala has been praised for some "top tier s***housery" during a spat with Matteo Guendouzi.

The Roma forward won the World Cup with Argentina little over a year ago, and couldn't resist rubbing it in face of Lazio ace Guendouzi, who was part of beaten finalists France's squad, during a tense moment in Saturday's Rome derby.

After a heated coming together, in which both players grabbed the other by the back of the neck, Dybala removed his shin pad - which had a photo of him lifting the World Cup on the inside - and showed it to Guendouzi. The former Arsenal man turned and walked away, but Dybala was hot on his heels, eager to show him the picture again.

Fans on social media labelled the Argentinian "savage" and "brutal", with one person even asserting he'd won "s***house moment of the season". Another added: "Guendouzi will never recover from this."

Others, however, weren't that impressed with Dybala's antics, with several people pointing out that he played a very small part of Argentina's triumph out in Qatar - making just two substitute appearances at the tournament.

What's the greatest bit of s***housery you've ever witnessed? Tell us in the comments section below.

"Dybala flexing Argentina’s World Cup title when he contributed a whopping ZERO to their campaign. Shameless," one person wrote, while another noted: "How dumb do you have to be to brag about playing 17 minutes in a whole tournament LMFAO."

Brief though Dybala's involvement out in Qatar was, he did convert a penalty during the shootout in the final to help Argentina seal a 4-2 win over France, as well as their third World Cup triumph.

Dybala's side got the better of Guendouzi's again on Saturday with Roma running out 1-0 winners against their hated cross-town rivals. Gianluca Mancini got the goal, which sees Roma, who are fifth in Serie A, move to within two points of the top four. Lazio, meanwhile, are nine points behind Roma in seventh.
