The Emperor of Rome continues to rack up the personal milestones.
Two days before his 40th birthday, Francesco Totti became just the second player in Serie A history to reach the 250-goal plateau, blasting home a penalty against Torino in Sunday's 3-1 loss.
The iconic attacker, who contemplated retirement before returning to Roma on a one-year contract this season, sits second all-time in Serie A scoring, trailing only Silvio Piola and his 274 tallies.
It was fitting that the accomplishment came against goalkeeper Joe Hart; two years ago Totti, now in his 25th and potentially final season with the Giallorossi, became the oldest scorer in Champions League history when he beat the Englishman in a contest against Manchester City.
