Francesco Totti has revealed that the birth of his son Christian was the happiest moment of his playing career, ahead of winning the Serie A title with Roma or lifting the World Cup with Italy.
Asked by Corriere della Sera to choose between those two achievements, the Roma legend said: “No. It was the day Christian was born. I was playing in Messina at the time. By the time I reached the maternity hospital, he had already been born. When I held him in my arms, I understood what the word ‘happiness’ really meant.”
Totti won the Italian championship with Roma in 2001 before becoming a world champion with Italy in 2006.
Christian Totti ended his playing career at the age of 19. It appears that Totti’s son did not find his path as a footballer. He is now 20.
