"One of the reasons why I rejected Saudi Arabia was certainly that of wanting to return to the national team," Dybala told TyC Sports.

"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%."

Dybala was on target for Argentina this week and he gave a special mention to the fans on his return.

"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."
