The likes of Ronaldo Nazario, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Lionel Messi are often at the center of this global conversation. But for Totti, the man who spent his entire career at AS Roma, the answer is clear.

Born in 1976, Totti was old enough to witness the brilliance of Diego Maradona firsthand while also being a front-row spectator to Messi’s legendary career. In his view, Maradona epitomizes the essence of soccer.

While Totti admires Messi, he was unequivocal during a December 2022 interview on the Twitch channel BepiTv: “Is Maradona better than Messi? We’re talking about two extraterrestrials. Diego is soccer. Leo is the best in the world right now, but he’s a level below Diego. It’s hard to find the right words to describe them. These players are simply in a category of their own,” Totti admitted.

Totti chooses between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo

In today’s era, the Messi-Ronaldo rivalry—spurred by their time at Barcelona and Real Madrid, respectively—has fans constantly debating who the true GOAT is. Totti has offered his thoughts on this as well.

After Ronaldo won the Ballon d’Or in 2017, Totti jokingly said from Dubai, “Messi is number one—but don’t tell Cristiano!” He also commented on the massive fee paid by PSG for Neymar Jr.

“Soccer has changed a lot from my time to now,” Totti remarked. “I prefer the romantic style of football from the past. Today, it’s all business. There are players like Ronaldo and Neymar, but Neymar is an example: paying €250 million for one player is just unreal.”

For AS Roma, Francesco Totti is seen as probably the biggest legend that has played for them. He stayed all his career in Italy’s capital, with 750 games played and 307 goals scored. Absolut legend.

But now in his personal life he struggled in the beginning of the second semester of the year. He divorced fromIlary Blasi two months ago, but he has moved on and has presented his new lover to the world.

Who is Francesco Totti’s new girlfriend?

Back in 2005, Francesco Totti met Ilary Blassi, an Italian TV presenter. They started their relationship and everything went well, until 2022. Some reports established that both cheated on each other and that led to their divorce.

Now, two months away from splitting up from Blasi, Francesco Totti has introduced his new grilfriend. Diva e Donna, an Italian magazine, caught the former midfielder hanging out withNoemi Bocchi.

The images were taken by an Italian paparazzi, who sold those pictures to the mentioned magazine. These were taken during Francesco Totti’s 46th birthday celebration. He was grabbing her hand and the photographer added that ‘they looked very happy together’.

Noemi Bocchi was born in 1988 in Rome, Italy. She studiedBusiness and Banking Economics in the capital. She also comes from a divorce and has two children, a boy and a girl.

This information comes after Ilary Blasi said that Francesco Totti cheated on her. She established that one day she grabbed his phone and realized there was someone else, but it was not revealed who.
