Totti starts Roma farewell on the bench

An iconic figure is taking in his final game at Stadio Olimpico, but will need to step off the bench if he is to get the send-off he deserves

Francesco Totti is taking in his final game for Roma after 24 memorable years, but has been named on the bench against Genoa.

The 40-year-old will not be offered an extension to a playing contract due to expire this summer and is set to bring the curtain down on a remarkable one-club spell on Sunday.

Did Totti become too big for Roma?

He will, however, need to be introduced as a substitute if he is to take in a 786th outing.
