The Palazzo della Civiltà was packed with people when Dybala was welcomed on Tuesday night. During the night and morning, the video from the incident was viewed twelve million times, according to the Norwegian news agency NTB.
Dybala’s contract with Juventus expired at the end of last season and Roma snapped up the 28-year-old striker/attacking midfielder, much to the delight of the club’s many supporters.
When the Argentine stepped onto the stage at the Palazzo della Civiltà at 9:21 p.m., he was greeted by a huge cheer.
The timing was well chosen. Dybala gets shirt number 21, the same as he has in the Argentine national team. Dybala scored 82 goals in 210 league games for Juventus, where he joined from Palermo in 2015. His parent club is Instituto de Córdoba in Argentina.
Dybala’s contract with Roma extends over the next three seasons
