The career of Francesco Totti finally came to an end on Sunday.
The 40-year-old bowed out of professional football in front of a sell-out crowd at Stadio Olimpico after helping his beloved Roma to finish the season with a dramatic 3-2 victory over Genoa.
Totti won Serie A and the World Cup in a distinguished career that was, regrettably, short on trophies, but that has done little to diminish his standing in the eyes of the Roma and Italy faithful.
His 25-year senior career has nonetheless produced some remarkable statistics. With the help of Opta, we examine the numbers behind the playing days of a man described by Diego Maradona as the best footballer he had ever seen.
