"Totti is God in Rome. Gerrard is 'Captain Fantasic' in Liverpool," Riise told Goal.com
"They're different players.
"Gerrard was the more complete player. He had everything – power, stamina, shooting, heading, passing – and could play in different positions.
"Totti was a God. Technically he was a genius, tactically he was very good. He's a great person and gave his all on the pitch.
"They're the two best players I've played with."
