Francesco Totti prepares to face Chievo today, but is focused more on the Champions League. “The Final is one of our objectives.”
The Giallorossi will top their group ahead of Chelsea if they manage to beat Bordeaux at the Stadio Olimpico on Tuesday evening.
“I believe we can get there and it is above all our objective because we would have the opportunity to play in Rome,” said the 32-year-old captain.
“I think it is my last chance and we will try to make the most of it.”
The last time Roma reached the European Cup Final it was also played on home turf, losing on penalties to Liverpool in 1984.
Their campaign had started with a shock home defeat to Cluj, but since the crushing 3-1 win over Chelsea, they have surged to the top of their group.
A point against Bordeaux will be sufficient to qualify, although a victory would mathematically ensure the leadership and a better position in the draw.
Roma’s Serie A form has also picked up considerably with four wins from their last five and they hope to continue with a trip to Chievo, kick-off at 17.00 UK time.
“We stayed silent because when you are going through difficult moments like the ones we had, it is better to keep quiet,” he explained.
“Now that we have overcome that crisis, we are crawling out from the undergrowth like snails!”
