Totti : Roma Want Liverpool !
The Giallorossi extended their winning streak to six earlier tonight, with a convincing 2-0 win over Bordeaux in Rome. Matteo Brighi and Francesco Totti grabbed the goals for the home side, as they assured themselves of top spot in their Champions League group.
Totti has been an integral part of the incredible Roman resurgence of late, since making his return from injury earlier in the season. As a result, the capital club are now undefeated in their last eight matches in all competitions.
Following the completion of tonight’s match, Il Capitano spoke to Sky in regards to the knockout phase of the competition.
“All roads lead to Rome? As for us at present, we are at the tollbooth. The centre of the city is still far away, but we know the roads well so we should be fine,” Totti jokingly said.
“On a more serious note though, this may very well be my last chance to play a match of such significance in Rome, and so I would love to make the final.
“Hopefully it will be another Roma-Liverpool final, just like it was in 1984,” he added.
Totti then made some final comments concerning the side’s resurgence in recent times, and the pleasure it has brought to the club.
“In the space of just one month, everything has changed.
“For example tonight is the first time that we have finished first in a Champions League group, making it an unforgettable day.
“What makes it even better is that after the first matchday, we were not sure if we would even qualify, let alone finish first, and so we are all very pleased with our efforts,” he concluded.
The talisman of Roma will be keen to lead his troops to their seventh successive victory on the weekend, when they do battle with Cagliari at the Stadio Olimpico.
