AS Roma captain Francesco Totti admits his goalscoring performance against Manchester City was inspired by a tweet from the Premier League champs. The 38-year-old striker was reminded through City's official Twitter account hours before the game at the Etihad Stadium that he had never scored in England.
"City's tweet? It really brought me luck," Totti told the Gazzetta dello Sport. "It was a beautiful goal and a good performance.
"I really wanted to score as soon as possible as I had not found the back of the net this season.
"But above all, I am thrilled for my team because we have shown a lot of strength, which was not easy."
