Roma favourite Bruno Conti has admitted that life after Francesco Totti has been tough on the Italians, comparing his absence with Barcelona's struggles when Lionel Messi is missing.
Totti finally hung up his boots at the end of last season at the age of 40, having played his entire career at the Stadio Olimpico.
The playmaker made 786 appearances for his boyhood club, scoring 307 goals and establishing a reputation as one of the most talented footballers of his generation.
And while he was not such a force on the field in his final seasons, Conti still believes he is missed sorely at Roma.
