Roma captain Francesco Totti moved up to fifth on the all-time Serie A 
scoring chart with two goals in Sunday's dramatic 3-2 win at Bari. His 
205th and 206th strikes took him past Italy legend Roberto Baggio in 
the scoring list and Totti has no intention of stopping now.
"The King of Rome is not dead and he will never die," he told Sky 
Sport. "I know what I can give. I'm happy that I've set another record 
and taken another scalp, a great player like Baggio. I hope to keep 
going at this level."
Totti smashed home a free-kick past a poorly positioned wall on the 
half hour mark and then slotted home a penalty on 57 minutes, 
equalising on both occasions. And it could have been even better for 
the 34-year-old who missed out on a hat-trick when he crashed a 79th 
minute penalty against a post.
GRAZIE CAPITANO

However, his day wasn't to be spoiled as Aleandro Rosi bundled home a 
winner five minutes into injury time to give Roma the three points. It 
also moved them to within a point of city rivals Lazio in the fourth 
and final UEFA Champions League qualifying place, although the 
Biancoceleste can extend that lead if they beat Juventus on Monday.
Totti's 206th goal, which moved him one above the Divine Ponytail 
(Baggio) also saw him extend his lead as the highest scorer currently 
active over Juve's Alessandro Del Piero, joint ninth on 184. The 
all-time scoring record is held by Silvio Piola, who scored 274 goals 
for Pro Vercelli, Lazio, Juventus and Novara.
Then comes Swede Gunnar Nordahl (225 goals for AC Milan and Roma), 
Giuseppe Meazza (216 for Inter, Milan and Juve) and the Italo-Brazilian 
Jose Altafini (216 for Milan, Napoli and Juve).

Roma's emblematic striker is a one-club man, having spent 18 years in 
the yellow and red. He made his debut as a 16-year-old in the 2-0 win 
away to Brescia on 28 March, 1993 and scored his first goal the 
following season in a 1-1 draw against Foggia on 24 September, 1994.
He went on to win the Serie A title with the club in 2000/01 alongside 
Gabriel Batistuta under the stewardship of Fabio Capello. He has also 
lifted the Italian Cup twice but has had many near misses as Roma have 
finished runners-up in the league six times and four times in the Cup 
during his career.
However, he was twice named Serie A player of the year and five times 
Italian player of the year while he won the FIFA World Cup™ with Italy 
in 2006. He's scored 14 goals this season and is the club's top 
goalscorer and joint sixth in the league

Nell'articolo per i 206 goal di Totti il mitico Matteo Pinci di La
Repubblica scrive: "Meglio ha fatto Lionel Messi, ad appena 23 anni 179 
sigilli nella Liga spagnola solo con il blaugrana del Barcellona"
Minchia, mi sono detto , 179 goal a 23 anni ma è possibile ?
No, infatti ne ha fatti 119.
