PAULO DYBALA was flattened by one of Roma’s physios after scoring the opener in the Europa League final.
The Argentine star latched onto a through ball from Gianluca Mancini and was able to slot past Yassine Bounou to give his side the lead in Budapest.
The celebrations from the Italian side were full of passion and Dybala, 29, was swarmed by his team-mates by the corner flag.
Before they reached him though, he was flattened by one of Roma’s physios wearing training gear during the jubilation.
The physio rugby tackled Dybala to the floor, and everyone bundled on top of him.
Dybala had been an injury doubt ahead of the game after struggling with a strain to the adductor in his right thigh, but managed to get fit enough to start and grab the vital goal.
