Totti brought the curtain down on 25 seasons in the Roma first team in a 3-2 win over Genoa, the 40-year-old coming off the bench to help secure second place and Champions League football next term.

During his illustrious career Totti won scored 307 goals in 786 appearances in all competitions, collecting one Scudetto and two Coppa Italia titles in the process.

The likes of Sergio Ramos, Antonio Conte and Daniele De Rossi all paid tribute to the striker following last weekend’s clash, and Messi has followed suit.
