He may be 39 years old, and some of his colleagues may think his time on the pitch will come to a close soon, but Francesco Totti can still make a difference for AS Roma.
As the game against Torino entered its final stretch, Totti came on as a sub trying to level things for the Italian capital team. Thirty nine seconds later, Il Capitano sent the ball into the back of the net making fans go crazy.
But the Italian maestro wasn't finished. With the game entering stoppage time, Roma was granted a penalty kick, which Francesco Totti stepped up to take. Even though Torino's goalie got his hands on the ball, Totti's shot had enough strength to make it into the back of the net.
WATCH: Totti comes in as a sub and scores twice inside five minutes.

Roma would be so stupid to let Totti go, even at 39 he's the best player in the world
