Chelsea fullback Azpilicueta enjoyed Totti clash

Chelsea fullback Cesar Azpilicueta enjoyed his challenge against AS Roma icon Francesco Totti on the weekend.

During last weekend's match, he marked Roma legend Totti, playing out a fascinating duel of hungry youngster against seasoned master.

"This is the game, I tried to defend as best as possible," he told chelseafc.com. "He is one of the best players in history and it was nice to play against him, so I tried to do my best.

"He wasn't very happy because I kicked him once by mistake, I was defending aggressively against him and needed to be concentrated, giving him no space, but he was okay afterwards."
