Undoubtedly one of the most gifted players of his generation, Roma playmaker Francesco Totti is now well into the autumn of his career.
During the Giallorossi’s Champions League last-16 second-leg clash with Real Madrid on Tuesday night, Totti made a cameo appearance, receiving an incredible reception from the fans of both clubs.
The 39 year-old, who has spent his entire career with Roma, made a late sub appearance in what could well be his last ever Champions League appearance, with the Serie A side 2-0 down on the night (courtesy of goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and James Rodriguez) and 4-0 behind on aggregate.
Totti famously came very close to joining Real back in the mid-2000s and the Bernabeu faithful greeted his cameo with an incredible standing ovation…
