The Disciplinary Commission acted after the Sicilians’ victory on December 21 when Terlizzi over-stepped the mark.

When asked in the post-match interview how Totti could be stopped, the Catania man had an unusual response.

“How to stop Totti? He needs to get thumped on the pitch a little more.”

Terlizzi has now been fined 15,000 Euros and an identical penalty has been handed to the club he represents.

It was a particularly unfortunate statement, as Totti limped off with a thigh injury during that 3-2 result.
