Francesco Totti adds to his Roma legend by scoring equalizer and celebrating with selfie
Francesco Totti added to his legendary status on Sunday by bringing Roma back from a 2-0 deficit with two second-half goals to salvage a 2-2 draw with rival Lazio in the Roma derby at Stadio Olimpico. He scored in the 48th minute with a right-footed shot in the box and produced the equalizer with a flying volley in the 64th minute. But that's not what got the Internet buzzing.
This did:

After scoring his second goal, Totti ran to the sideline and was handed an iPhone. Then he mugged for the camera before the adoring home fans.
It's not like we needed another reason to admire Totti and his Jeter-esque qualities: playing for one club (all 23 years of his senior club football with Roma), winning championships (most notably with Italy at the 2006 World Cup) and sporting good looks. But now we do.
Well, done Totti. Well done.
