Totti's late brace proved to be all a bit too much for him...Francesco Totti has achieved many things in his legendary 24-year (and counting) playing career at AS Roma.

He's bagged the Serie A title, four domestic cups, won countless individual awards and lifted a little known trophy called the World Cup with Italy back in 2006.

But this is probably the first time he's actually brought a commentator to tears.

Let's set the scene: Roma were trailing 2-1 at home to Torino when Totti came off the bench in the 85th minute. Within 60 seconds he'd levelled the game, turning in Miralem Pjanic's free-kick.

Two minutes later, Roma are awarded a spot-kick - and up stepped Francesco, who duly dispatched it to snatch three points.But the real talking point here comes from commentator Carlo Zampa - a man well known in Italy for not hiding back his emotions while on duty - who instantly becomes completely overwhelmed by the whole situation.

Tears and joy in equal massive measure, make sure you listen to it in the clip above.
