Roma captain Francesco Totti believes the Serie A title race is a straight shootout between the Giallorossi and Juventus.
The Lupi have again fallen three points behind the Bianconeri after the weekend’s fixtures, with Roma drawing with Lazio in the Derby della Capitale, while Juve beat Napoli 3-1 at San Paolo.
“Right now, Roma and Juventus are the best-equipped teams to win the title,” Totti told Bleacher Report.
“However, the Italian championship is very fair and equal, so every match is a tough one.
Roma captain Francesco Totti believes the Serie A title race is a straight shootout between the Giallorossi and Juventus.
The Lupi have again fallen three points behind the Bianconeri after the weekend’s fixtures, with Roma drawing with Lazio in the Derby della Capitale, while Juve beat Napoli 3-1 at San Paolo.
“Right now, Roma and Juventus are the best-equipped teams to win the title,” Totti told Bleacher Report.
“However, the Italian championship is very fair and equal, so every match is a tough one.
“I hope to win more with this jersey, and I am convinced that we will.”
The captain has already tasted Scudetto glory with Roma in 2001, and the World Cup winner reflected on that triumph.
“[I remember] The win against Parma in the last match of the League and the joy of the entire city, which exploded.
“Before being a player, I was a diehard fan of Roma, so I know what the fans felt when we won.
“I might have had the chance to win much more with other teams, but I am proud of what I've done with this jersey.
“No victory with another jersey would have given me the same emotions and satisfactions that this one has given me as captain.
“[Playing for Roma] It's special because it's mine. It's my city, the city I love and the team I love and have always been a fan of.
“I continue to enjoy playing football and I still want to win a lot with this jersey.”
Totti also assessed Roma’s Champions League campaign, which ended in heartbreak with a deafeat to Manchester City at home consigning the Giallorossi to the Europa League.
“For me personally, the goal in Manchester was a beautiful moment. As a team, I hope that the best moments for us are yet to come.
“We certainly learned something. We had been out of the Champions League for a long time and we immediately were in a very tough group. It will serve as a further lesson for next year.”
