Gallery: Totti and Maradona at Match for Peace

The event, organised by the Vatican, saw the likes of Totti, Maradona, Ronaldinho and come together to fill two star-studded sides - who would go out and entertain the crowd at the Stadio Olimpico.

Maradona and Totti had spent much of the build-up to the match offering praise for the other, and the show of mutual respect continued ahead of kick-off on Wednesday.

See the best images of the two No. 10s before kick-off in the gallery below - and return to the website tomorrow for more coverage from the event.
