FKLE

Roma defender Kostas Manolas believes the team deserve to qualify for next season's Champions League - but knows they have to make sure they do a professional job this weekend to ensure they do.

The Giallorossi host Genoa in the final game of the campaign on Sunday afternoon, in what will also be Francesco Totti's final appearance for his boyhood club.

And Manolas is eager for the team too get the three points and his "amazing" teammate to get the farewell he deserves.

“It's a massive game for us and one we simply have to win because three points would mean we'd be sure of finishing second – a huge target for us and for the club," Manolas told Sky Sports.

"Roma deserve to be in the Champions League and we players want to be playing in it.”

Genoa will be Francesco Totti's last game. How's he preparing for it?

“He seems pretty calm to me at the moment. Totti is just Totti, a world-class player and an amazing guy. I've been lucky to have got to know him. I wish him all the best in life.”

As you get to see him up close, can you tell us what makes him such a special player?

“He's brilliant with both feet and he can put the ball anywhere he wants. He's intelligent, classy – he's got the lot. He's world-class.”
