Paulo Dybala has revealed how his Juventus teammate Cristiano Ronaldo reacted after he told him that he is hated in Argentina.

Dybala stated that Ronaldo who found it amusing laughed it off and said that he's used to such expression towards him due to the kind of player he is.

Speaking in an interview with the Argentine national team website, Dybala hailed Ronaldo as an “important figure” and “very sociable and friendly” within the club.

"On a personal level, I was surprised for good because I did not know him, none of us knew anything about him.

“Even in the previous Champions League we were knocked out against Real Madrid and there had been many crosses.

“But then we found something else, he is an excellent guy, very sociable and friendly inside and outside the locker room.

“Always ready to talk, to listen, that surprised me, being an important figure, they are not always like that.

"Once I sat down to talk to him, we were traveling. I said 'look, I'm honest, we in Argentina a little hate you, for your figure, for your way of being, for walking, then you really surprised me because I found something else’.

“He laughed because he said 'I know that's the way it is, but I know how I am, I'm used to being criticised for that’.”
