Paulo Dybala was tonight’s hero for Roma after scoring a hat-trick versus Torino.

The Argentine forward spoke to DAZN after the match and shared his impressions on the night.

“I really missed scoring a hat-trick. This feels great. I wanted to do it for so long, I wanted it against Cagliari, then the coach took me off before I got the chance to score the third one.”

“Today I didn’t look for it that much but it happened and I’m happy because it helped us win,” he said.

“The hug with De Rossi? It was a difficult moment in the match, Torino puts you in difficulty, the match could have become dangerous. I ran towards the bench and he was the first one there to hug me.”

“Our Europa League ambitions? One always wants to win, I always want to win a trophy, wherever I am. The path is long, we will find difficult teams in the league and in Europe. We know what our goals are and we work every day to achieve them.”

“My future? When I arrived I said that it seemed to me that I had already lived in another life in this city. I don’t know what will happen, I’m enjoying every moment with the team and my teammates because they are wonderful.”
