Dybala’s wife went into labour during dramatic Roma 3-3 Juventus

Paulo Dybala will always have a special bond with Juventus, and his mother-in-law reveals a goal in the game against Roma sent wife Oriana into labour.

The happy couple welcomed their first child on Monday morning, a daughter who has been named Gia.

However, the birth was a little earlier than scheduled, and the fault may well be the dramatic finale of Roma’s 3-3 draw with Juventus.

Oriana Sabatini’s mother, Catherine Fulop, spoke to Teleshow in Argentina and revealed the singer and television presenter went into labour straight after a strike at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday evening.

“On Sunday, she started having contractions in the stadium, right after the third goal,” said Fulop.

Roma had taken a 3-1 lead on the night, only to concede two goals late on with a last-gasp Federico Gatti equaliser.

“Initially, they were every five minutes and they hurt, but not that much. Oriana said she wanted to go home, relax in a hot bath, but the contractions were getting more intense and more frequent.”

Dybala was on the bench and did not play, but once he had accompanied his wife home, they realised the baby was in a hurry.

“They initially wanted to go to the Gemelli hospital, but it was around 50 minutes away and Ori was already in a lot of pain, so we went to a clinic nearer to us instead at about 3am, as she was already at an advanced stage.”

It was a dramatic match at the Stadio Olimpico, but fortunately Dybala’s child waited until they had left the stadium before making her introduction to the world.
