Francesco Totti acknowledges Juventus triumph

Roma captain Francesco Totti has offered his congratulations to Juventus, who won a third successive Scudetto title this afternoon.

The Giallorossi's 4-1 defeat to Catania today ensured that Antonio Conte's men could not be caught in the race for the Serie A crown.

Despite missing out on the top-flight title, the ex-Italy international feels that there are plenty of positives to be drawn from the season, primarily the arrival of coach Rudi Garcia.

"There's not much I can say other than compliments to Juve for their title victory," Totti told Rai Sport.

"Nobody expected such an ugly Roma performance today, but unfortunately we encountered a side that wanted to win at all costs and played like warriors.

"Rudi Garcia arrived at Roma with the right mentality and transformed this side. The credit for this extraordinary campaign is above all down to him."

Roma will host the newly-crowned champions in the Italian capital next week in the penultimate game of the season.
