Roma captain Francesco Totti delighted with Astra triumph

Roma captain Francesco Totti enjoyed victory over Europa League opponents Astra.

Totti provided three assists for the 4-0 win.

"We are happy with the performance, as it was important tonight to show everyone what a good team we are. It was a strong response," he told Sky Sport Italia.

“What the people want, what the Coach wants and above all what we want is to show what we can do, that we are a strong team and a united one."

Totti won the TV poll as Man of the Match with 90 per cent of the vote. “It's pleasing, as it means I had a good game, but the most important thing was a convincing result and we achieved that.

“In the first half I was joking on the touchline that I didn't even feel this good at 25. It's true, I feel in good shape and my legs don't hurt even after 90 minutes.
