“Totti was the best player in the world in his prime.” “I would have been honoured to play alongside Totti.” I had to take a lot of things into account, but primarily Roma.” When I arrived at the club, that’s what was asked of me, because Roma is a top club with a quality side. “In the past few seasons he hasn’t had many playing opportunities, so it’s good to see his enthusiasm hasn’t waned. I have huge respect for him and I know the feeling is mutual.” We’re very different from each other but we took similar paths: that’s why we’re so close and why we’ve had such a special relationship for so long. “Eras in football never end: what’s been achieved remains forever.
After 20 unforgettable years, it’s a special moment for him and the fans, but he will remain a part of Roma’s history. “We owe him a big thanks for what he’s achieved, because it’s top level footballers who make the game beautiful.
With his skills, which I envy, he’ll still be playing exactly the same way when he’s 50 and having a kickabout with friends.” “He can’t complain because he’s played for so long, we can’t complain about the feats he’s let us enjoy watching, and we have enjoyed them. And I’m sure he’ll be just as influential on the other side of the pitch.” “If you ask me, Totti has been the best player in Italian football for the past 20 years. “That’s what makes me want to play football and win, and I’m sure Francesco, over the years, his buzz and his happiness comes from making the Roma people happy. The most important thing for me is to win and have success and share it with my people, the people of my city. “I think he would agree that I play football for the people, and to make the people happy.

The World Cup star’s pace carried him on to a cross down the left and he bamboozled Raul Albiol before sending a deft cutback into the path of Bernat. But Napoli’s fans were in despair moments later courtesy of more Mbappe magic. At the other end, Callejon set up Insigne for a deft volley which the diminutive Napoli midfielder fired a yard wide of Buffon’s upright. After Mertens poked wide of Buffon’s upright after a well-worked free-kick, Kalidou Koulibaly rescued the Italians twice in succession with a well-timed tackle on Mbappe and a timely interception to prevent Mbappe reaching Thomas Meunier’s pass. The first real scare for Napoli came on 23 minutes when Mbappe ran on to Neymar’s looping cross to fire a left-footed half volley that dipped just over David Ospina’s crossbar. It left Neymar and Kylian Mbappe pulling the strings up front for the visitors, who produced a strong first 45 minutes that had Napoli’s demanding fans frustrated throughout. In what was captain Marek Hamsik’s record 512th appearance for Napoli, former teammate Edinson Cavani played only a cameo role after replacing Angel Di Maria for the final quarter-hour. The result sees Napoli go top of Group C, level on points with Liverpool following their shock 2-0 defeat by Red Star Belgrade earlier Tuesday. But after Juan Bernat capped a dominant first-half performance from PSG to hit the opener on the stroke of halftime, Insigne made no mistake when the hosts were awarded a penalty just after the hour as Jose Callejon was sandwiched in the area. PSG travelled to the Stadio San Paolo looking to go one better after being held to a 2-2 draw in the French capital two weeks ago. Lorenzo Insigne beat former Italy teammate Gianluigi Buffon from the spot to keep Napoli well in the hunt for a place in the last 16 of the Champions League thanks to a 1-1 draw at home to Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday.
