Francesco Totti: the symbol of loyalty

Roma's iconic player Francesco Totti revealed that he contemplated leaving the Italian capital's team solely for a move to Real Madrid in Spain.

Totti, as reported by the Spanish news agency, stated, "There were moments when I considered departing. It was a season after our Serie A victory, and I was on the verge of joining Madrid. Indeed, I would have bid farewell to Roma solely for Madrid's sake."

He further explained, "Ultimately, my family wasn't supportive of my move to Real Madrid, so I chose to remain in Roma."

Alessandro Nesta v Francesco Totti

More than 20 years ago, both of Rome's clubs Roma and Lazio won the Scudetto, and never happened again.

Both clubs captains and stars were the Italians superstars Alessandro Nesta and Francesco Totti.

It was one of the biggest football matches in the world, full of stars and fighting for the title.

Royal rumble in Roma-Juve title clash

A dramatic Serie A title clash between reigning champions Juventus and challengers Roma almost descended into farce on Sunday evening, with a host of controversial decisions dominating post-match conjecture.

Referee Gianluca Rocchi awarded three penalties in the contest, as well as sending off Alvaro Morata and Konstantinos Manolas, though the decisions were very controversial, with both of the offences which resulted in penalties for Juve appearing to have happened outside the box.

Roma coach Rudi Garcia even found himself sent to the stands by Rocchi, before centre-back Leonardo Bonucci became the unlikeliest of heroes for the Old Lady by blasting an audacious volley into the bottom corner to seal a 3-2 win.

Giallorossi skipper Francesco Totti was furious with the refereeing afterwards: "We came here to play and the performance was good, but what happened [with the referee] conditioned the game.

"It's terrible to have to say it but these things that affect the game have been happening for years. Juventus certainly didn't beat us. There were three incidents that changed a game that we wanted to win. There's a lot of anger but we must lift our heads after a game like this.

"I've always said it: they should play in their own league. They always win by hook or by crook. We train to win but then these things happen. There's not even a need to look at the replays. We already saw everything on the field."

Golden Oldie: Totti shines again on the big stage for Roma

Francesco Totti showed he can still cut it at the highest level after his sublime chipped finish earned Roma a 1-1 draw against Manchester City in the Champions League on Tuesday evening.

The 38-year-old’s well-taken effort has kept Rudi Garcia’s side in the driving seat to progress to the knockout stages as they sit two points behind Bayern Munich but three ahead of City.
