Juventus veteran Alessandro Del Piero has taken the time to praise Francesco Totti in the wake of the Roma captain's brace against Cesena last weekend.

Totti broke former AC Milan attacker Gunnar Nordahl’s all-time record of 210 league goals with a single Italian club following his double on Saturday, and Del Piero feels the Roma legend fully deserves his record.

"What Francesco has done is extraordinary, 211 goals with the same shirt, he deserves the record," Del Piero said at a press conference.

The Juve icon then looked ahead to Tuesday's Coppa Italia encounter, and expects a tight game versus the Giallorossi.

"We expect an important commitment in the Italian Cup against Roma. We all want to do well and to give our maximum because it's an important objective for us."

Tuesday's Coppa Italia quarter-final kicks off at 20.45CET.
