Totti hits 300th goal for Roma

The 38-year-old, who has spent his entire professional career with the Giallorossi, reached the historic milestone with his 244th strike in Serie A

Roma captain Francesco Totti scored his 300th goal for the club in Sunday's Serie A clash with Sassuolo at the Stadio Olimpico.

The former Italy international, who turns 39 next week, reached the milestone nine minutes before half-time when he whipped home a pass from Miralem Pjanic.

Sassuolo, though, were furious that the goal was allowed to stand, as Totti had clearly been standing in an offside position when he was picked out by his Bosnian team-mate on the edge of the area.

Still, their protests did not dampen the enthusiasm of the home fans, who once again rose to their feet to applaud a player who has spent his entire professional career at Roma.

Indeed, Totti was just 16 years of age when he made his Giallorossi debut in a Serie A clash with Brescia on March 28, 1993.

The forward, who called time on his international career after helping Italy win the 2006 World Cup, has netted 244 times in Italy's top flight, and lifted one Scudetto and two Coppa Italia titles with his hometown club.
