Roma captain Francesco Totti could not stop gushing about his team’s historic victory over Real Madrid on Wednesday night.
Totti was ecstatic with his team’s victory over Real Madrid, that saw the Giallorossi progress to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Roma held a 2-1 lead going into the second leg match and the Giallorossi put on a dazzling performance en route to a famous victory before a stunned crowd in the Bernabeu.
Roma were victorious in both legs and won the tie by a 4-2 aggregate to send Real Madrid crashing out of the competition in the round of 16 for the fourth consecutive season, and their beaming skipper spoke to Sky Sports after the match.
“We made a grandiose impression tonight in a match that we had to win at all costs,” he said.
“We are finding some continuity within the team after playing in some big matches, and we hope to play well in future fixtures on a big stage.
"I am still not 100 % healthy but I wasn’t about to miss a match of this magnitude as I have been training hard for the last three weeks to get back into match condition.
"There will be many supporters waiting for us to arrive back in Rome as this was a difficult match played in a hostile environment. To be able to celebrate this victory with our fans will be extremely pleasing.”
