Roma’s talismanic striker Francesco Totti became the Champions League’s oldest ever goal-scorer when he netted in his side’s Group E game at Manchester City on Tuesday.
The former Italy international, who turned 38 on Saturday, raced through to chip City goalkeeper Joe Hart from team-mate Radja Nainggolan’s pass in the 23rd minute, after Sergio Aguero’s penalty had given the hosts the lead.
Totti takes the record from former Manchester United midfielder Ryan Giggs, who was aged 37 and 289 days when he scored in a 1-1 draw away to Benfica in September 2011.
It was also the first time in 10 matches that Totti had scored in a club game in England.
