SkyDome

Francesco Totti scored in the 25th minute on a marvellous header to lead Italian club AS Roma to a 1-0 win over reigning Scottish champions Glasgow Celtic in an international soccer friendly match.

The crowd of 50,168 was the largest audience to witness a soccer game in the history of the SkyDome.

After Friday's snoozefest between FC Porto and English side Liverpool — a lifeless match that the Portuguese champions won 1-0 — Saturday's contest was a thrilling affair that saw both teams hold nothing back and attack with verve and pace from the opening kickoff.

Totti’s Goal Celebration Is For Wife Blasi

Over the past few years, we have become accustomed to the thumb-sucking celebration from Francesco Totti, a celebration which many believed was related to his young children.

This is not the case however, as it has been revealed by Totti’s wife Ilary Blasi that the celebration is solely directed at her.

Blasi revealed that the celebration is dedicated to her. “Everyone thinks it’s about the children, because children are known for doing these sorts of things with the fingers, however, in this case, it relates to me,” she said.

“I have this defect, which I do with my thumb all the time, so therefore, in reality, Francesco does it for me,” she concluded.

This particular celebration has become a well-known aspect of Totti’s game in recent years.
