In his post-match interview with TyC Sports, the Roma star discussed his feelings after returning to Argentina’s score sheet.

“One of the reasons why I rejected Saudi Arabia was certainly that of wanting to return to the national team,” said Dybala.

“I feel good and I want to continue to fight and win with Argentina and with Roma. I know that there is a lot of competition here and not it’s easy, when I play I give 100%.”

“The fans are incredible, this group gives a lot of happiness to people and they recognize it. This victory is for everyone. The people have welcomed me in this way after a long time away from the Seleccion and I got goosebumps.”

“The decision for me to wear the 10 was made from above, it wasn’t mine or my teammates’. The 10 is solely and exclusively Leo’s and now that I have to wear it I have to give it my all.”
