Roma legend Francisco Totti marks 600th Serie A appearance

Francesco Totti may be playing his final games for Roma but he if he is, he is going out in style.

Making his 600th appearance for the Giallorossi he showed he still has the ability to unlock a defence, splitting the Chievo back four with a lovely pass for Miralem Pjanic, who slotted home to make it 3-0 in their Serie A clash.

Totti, 39, has been with Roma for his entire playing career, since 1992, and despite making fewer appearances than he would have liked this season, he has shown in recent weeks that he is still capable of producing a moment of magic.

The one-touch pass showed the No.10’s class, and whether the Italian chooses to continue playing elsewhere or hang up his boots, there is no doubt Totti could still serve a team well based on this evidence.

Although he has only made 12 Serie A appearances this season, Totti has still managed an impressive strike rate, scoring five goals, and has no laid on four assists too.

Juventus have already been crowned champions this season, finishing comfortable clear of the chasing pack, but Roma sit second in the league, one point ahead of Napoli, and have already qualified for next season’s Champions League.

Totti will be hoping to play in Roma’s final Serie A fixture against AC Milan at the San Siro next weekend, which could yet be a final farewell for the Italian legend.
