"The great Francesco Totti took that statement quite literally, playing almost 800 games for his boyhood team, which came at the expense of his medal tally. The 2006 World Cup winner was restricted to one Scudetto and two Coppa Italia triumphs as he ignored lucrative moves to more successful clubs to see out his playing days in the Italian capital."
"There is more than a flicker of light that more success is just around the corner, but Roma lost away from home for the first time this season last time out - AC Milan squeezing home 1-0 at the San Siro on Sunday. For context, a win would have taken them to the Serie A summit for the first time in a decade and, like Rangers in their League Cup semi-final defeat by Celtic, they had plenty"
AS Roma commands deep, enduring support characterized by loyalty through highs and lows. Francesco Totti exemplified that loyalty by spending nearly his entire career at the club and sacrificing potential trophies. Managerial shifts have brought renewed ambition, with Gian Piero Gasperini arriving to pursue European success and a desire to end a 25-year wait for a major title. Jose Mourinho previously delivered the inaugural Conference League and reached a Europa League final. Roma perform strongly in the Europa League but suffered a rare away defeat to AC Milan that affected their Serie A positioning.
