'Totti is not a hero - he's a God!'

As the veteran Italian prepares to play his final match in a Roma shirt on Sunday, one of the club's former bosses has hailed his impact on the team

As Francesco Totti prepares to farewell the Stadio Olimpico, Sven-Goran Eriksson has described the Roma icon as a "God" in the Italian capital.

For all Roma fans, it is a day they have been dreading for many years, but Totti will bid an emotional farewell to his boyhood club in front of a sell-out crowd against Genoa in Serie A on Sunday.

With his contract expiring at the end of the season, the 40-year-old forward will play his final match for the club after more than 24 years in the first team.
