Francesco Totti | The Prince of Rome

Even at the age of 40, Francesco Totti is still one of the best football players in the world! The Italian attacking midfielder started his professional career in 1992 and just a year later he made his debut for The Wolves against Brescia at the age of 16!

Since then, Francesco Totti has become one of the Roma’s legends! He has scored 307 goals (250 in Seria A) in 773 matches for The Wolves in all competitions and keeps going! The midfielder is among the most loyal football players, staying at Roma during his whole career!

The Roma’s captain managed to win the Italian Seria A only once in 2001, finishing in 2nd position on 8 occasions. However, I am sure that if he was in another team, he would have done it many more times, but his heart belongs to Rome. In addition, Totti has lifted the Coppa Italia twice (2007 and 2008) and Suppercoppa Italiana (2001 and 2007).

He was an integral part of the Italian national team, which won the FIFA World Cup in 2006. Totti scored the winning goal against Australia in the Round of 16. Furthermore, the attacking midfielder took part in UEFA Euro 2000, when Italy became the runners-up. The attacking midfielder scored 9 goals in 58 participations for the Italian national team.

Francesco Totti scored his most recent goal for Roma yesterday. He converted a penalty into a goal against Cesena in a match from the Coppa Italia, sending his team into the semi-finals of the competition!

At both ends, Francesco Totti can decide every single game with just one pass! He had a great impact on his team in the defeat against Sampdoria last week. However, I am happy that I can still watch such a world class player taking part in top flight matches. I wish he stays for another season.
