The Serie A giants are poised to join the trio in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League when they host Porto in the second leg of the round of 16 on Tuesday.
The 23-year-old who joined the the Italian champions from Palermo in 2015 rates his side as high as those of the so called European giants.
"Since the Champions League started we've been at the same level as Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. If we get through, we'll also be on the same level now.We're also top of the league and we won the first match of the Coppa Italia [semi-final against Napoli]. In some ways, we're doing better than them",told a news conference as quoted by Goal.
The Argentinian who has been in brilliant form since joining the Turin based side has been linked with a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona in the summer. However, Dybala has refuted such suggestions, claiming that he wants to win the Champions League with Juventus.
