Pro Evolution Soccer, the Myspace to the EA Sports FIFA franchise’s Facebook, celebrates its 20th anniversary this year and they’re doing it by bringing innovation back to the game. Namely in the form of including Francesco Totti’s selfie goal celebration.
In their penultimate Serie A fixture of the season, second-place Roma beat third-place Lazio 2-1 in a typically hateful Rome derby to clinch a place in the Champions League group stage.
Roma earned a 1-1 draw in the first leg of their Europa League round of 16 tie against Fiorentina, giving them an away goal advantage that they promptly and spectacularly pissed away at the start of the second leg.
Francesco Totti is a 38-year-old man, but for a few moments during Sunday’s Rome derby, he was a teenager again. The Roma captain scored twice in the second half to come back from a 2-0 deficit against Lazio and his 64th-minute equalizer was a stunner of a flying karate kick volley at the far post. He then celebrated by taking a selfie with his own phone in front of the Roma fans of the Curva Sud.
