REVEALED: What Roma Legend Francesco Totti Wrote on Ball in Final Game or I Giallorossi

One of Francesco Totti's parting gifts to I Giallorossi faithful before his retirement in 2017 was the final match ball of his career. The legendary one-club forward - who made 786 competitive appearances for the club over a 25-year period - wrote a message on the ball before he launched it into the crowd.

Nearly one year on, the ball has emerged on Twitter and with it the confirmation of what Totti wrote: "Mi mancherai," which means, "I'll miss you," in Italian.

Totti's former teammate Juan Jesus revealed last summer how the Roma legend wanted to miss a penalty in order to "send the ball to the tifosi".
