After 23 years with the Giallorossi, Francesco Totti’s time with his beloved club is set to end after any hope of an extension on his contract has as yet been passed up by Roma’s upper hierarchy.
Well, it seems if the 39 year old number 10 is going to go out, he’s damn well going to do it in some style.
Fresh from grabbing a last minute equaliser during the weekends 3-3 draw with Atalanta, a match incidentally that would later bring on a slanging match between the talisman and his manager, the great Francesco Totti came off the bench to score two goals in the final 5 minutes to grab a vital 3-2 win over Torino.

Roma, in third place which earns a place in the UEFA Champions League playoff round, were heading for a shock defeat until 39-year-old came on to replace Seydou Keita before grabbed the equaliser from close range. The fairy tale match was complete when the World Cup winner converted from the penalty spot with one minute left.
The win gives the Giallorossi a six-point cushion over Roberto Mancini’s Inter Milan, who lost 1-0 at Genoa.
Here’s the goals….
