Totti was at Saturday evening’s match against Celta Vigo, and speaking to Real Madrid’s official media channels, he expressed his delight at being able to witness the team in the flesh.

“It was a beautiful feeling. It’s the first time I’ve watched a Real Madrid match from the stands, as I’ve always been an opponent on the pitch. Real Madrid is a very important club.”

Totti also spoke of his special relationship with Carlo Ancelotti, who will hope to guide Real Madrid to another successful end of the season.
