The Bernabéu prepares a send off for Francesco Totti. A standing ovation if he plays.
“I always dreamed of playing [at the Bernabéu]. I admired Real Madrid as a boy. They had players with great mentalities: Butragueño, Míchel, Sanchís, Hugo Sánchez, Schuster… They were the en vogue players in Europe at the time. Ever since then I’ve had a lot of affection for them as a team”.
The words of Francesco Totti (Roma, 27-9-1976) back in October 2001 on the cusp of making his inaugural competitive appearance at the Bernabeu.
