Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola is full of admiration for former AS Roma teammate Francesco Totti.
Guardiola is looking forward to their Champions League clash at Roma.
"If at age 38, you are playing like this, your passion is undeniable. He's perfect for (Rudi) Garcia's style of play.
"At this age, with all the money he has and having been elected as King of Rome, to continue playing shows his great passion [for the game] because he could easily stay at home.
"It means that he still loves football, and it's my satisfaction to see him again. His inspiration doesn't come without the ball. The Coach makes him play and still have this desire.
"I hope he continues like this - me being on the bench and him on the field. It's as it was when I was at Roma as a player!"
