The iconic anthem is sung at every home game at the Stadio Olimpico before kick-off, but Dybala appeared moved by the monumental sound being created by the supporters – who were waving flags of the club’s colours – in their numbers.
Reports suggest another 50,000 people were watching his unveiling – which also saw the club’s colours light up the Square Colosseum – which was streamed live on YouTube.
The 28-year-old then sat down for his first press conference as a Roma player, in which he revealed he left Juventus for footballing reasons.
‘I think the [Juventus] director [Maurizio] Arrivabene was very clear, we had an agreement to sign in October and then the club asked us to wait,’ Dybala said.
