TURIN, Italy (Reuters) - Paulo Dybala said his two-goal performance against Barcelona on Tuesday was the sort of night he had dreamed about since he used to play on the bumpy pitches of the Argentine second division as a slightly-built teenager.

The 23-year-old is arguably the most exciting player to have come out of Argentina since Lionel Messi and managed to upstage the five-times world player of the year as he led Juventus to an emphatic 3-0 win in the Champions League quarter-final first leg.
