Paulo Dybala: 'I wanted to live these moments as a child'

Dybala bagged two left-foot strikes in the opening 22 minutes before Giorgio Chiellini added a second-half header in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final.

“I think we put in a great performance, we made the most of the chances we had and it’s a positive result for what we’ll face at Camp Nou,” Dybala told Mediaset Premium.

“I am very happy. Very happy because as a child I wanted to live these moments and today I managed it. We are all in a very positive moment with a lot of confidence and that’s important to go forward and achieve our objectives.”

Barcelona lost the first leg 4-0 to Paris Saint-Germain and still turned that around with a 6-1 home victory in the last-16.

“We certainly cannot rest on our laurels. We know that we need a positive result in the second leg and keep a clean sheet, because it’s tough out there, tough – we all saw it.

“But we are a great team and can work together to do it.”
