FRANCESCO TOTTI shows he is still capable of pulling off his trademark finish with this amazing chipped five-a-side goal.
The Roma legend duped the waiting wall into thinking he was going to try to smash it through them.
Francesco Totti lines up his chipped effortTwitterBut true to form Totti, 41, clipped away the most delicate of dinks that left the opposition keeper flapping at thin air.
The footage was captured during the Italy icon’s kickabout with mates on a small pitch.
Totti played his 786th and final game for the Giallorossi in May last year – a scintillating 3-2 win over Genoa.
Incredible tributes from fans marked the end of his glittering 25-year career, that took in 2006’s World Cup win as well as a Serie A title with Roma and back-to-back Coppa Italia triumphs from 2006.
The Roma legend strikes the ball perfectlyTwitter His sublime dink fools the wall and leaves the keeper grasping at thin airTwitterAnd this video brings back memories of Totti’s Euro 2000 semi-final penalty against Edwin van der Sar.
It was then, during the shootout with a spot in the showpiece on the line, that Totti said: “Now I will do the spoon.”
Italy captain Paolo Maldini – who would miss his spot kick – reacted with horror upon hearing this, exclaiming: “Is he crazy? There’s a final on the line!”
But he need not have stressed.
It is clear the Italy icon has lost none of his skill since retiring last yearReutersTotti’s perfectly struck chip floated past Van Der Sar and into the back of the net.
Form is temporary, class is permanent, as they say.
