Alessandro Florenzi starts for Roma against Manchester City tonight, but hopes “it can be Francesco Totti’s moment.”
The Giallorossi kick off at the Etihad at 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT) for the Champions League.
“I hope we can put in a good performance tonight and bring home a victory,” Florenzi told Sky Sport Italia.
“This is the night, we hope it can be Totti’s moment and that he can score a goal.”
The captain, who turned 38 on Saturday, has never found the net on English soil.
Meanwhile, Morgan De Sanctis is not even on the bench due to injury, so Lukasz Skorupski goes in goal.
“Skorupski has a lot of character, so let’s just relax and tonight he will show what he can do.”
