UEFA honour Roma great Totti

Francesco Totti has been honoured with the UEFA President's Award after calling time on his celebrated career with Roma.

The 40-year-old former Italy forward made his 786th and final appearance for the Giallorossi in last weekend's 3-2 win over Genoa on the final day of the Serie A season.

It is the first time during his tenure that Aleksander Ceferin has awarded the prize and the UEFA president said: "The President's Award recognises outstanding achievements, professional excellence and exemplary personal qualities.

"These attributes are personified by Francesco Totti – a man who has given around a quarter of a century of his life playing for his beloved AS Roma.

"Congratulations, Francesco, for a fantastic career and for your extraordinary loyalty and dedication to Roma and to football."
