During Tuesday's UEFA Champions League match between "Manchester City" and "Roma," the latter's captain Francesco Totti became the oldest player to score a goal in the tournament's history. The 38-year-old striker scored in the 23rd minute and helped the team extend their lead in the away game.
It seems that the official "Manchester City" Twitter account added a note about the Italian goal. In the post before the match, they asked if F. Totti had ever scored a goal in England. The Italian quickly responded.
"If we look at the entire 90 minutes, we will see that we had better chances and could have definitely won. We quickly responded to their goal and proved what we are worth. We played against one of the best teams in Europe, but by playing like this, we can achieve our goal - to reach the knockout stages," - F. Totti praised his team after the match.
A few days before celebrating his 38th birthday, the striker surpassed "Manchester United" legend Ryan Giggs and became the oldest goal scorer in the Champions League.
"I will honestly say - I didn't think about any records. I always think first and foremost about my team, and when you play with that mindset, records come naturally," - F. Totti downplayed his achievement.
