Totti attack on Mario Balotelli ( Italian Cup Final )

Roma captain Francesco Totti has admitted that tension got the better of him last night, but accused Internazionale striker Mario Balotelli of fomenting trouble.

Totti kicked Balotelli from behind and was sent off late in the second half as Roma lost 1-0 to Inter by virtue of a goal from Diego Milito.


“Moments of anxiety can happen in a game and in such important moments. You can't always ignore very offensive insults on the pitch, direct and indirect that try to dirty a city and an entire people,” Totti said.

“Above all when the continuous flow of insults always comes from the same person who makes systematic provocation his calling card.

“I hit Balotelli because he insulted me twice and then for what he did last year at San Siro. I haven't forgotten.”

Totti is expected to receive a two-to-three match ban for his horrific actions.

Inter vs Roma live stream online May 5 2010 broadcasting from Olimpico Stadium directly from Rome, Italian Cup Final 2010. This match will be starting at 19:45 GMT (20:45 Italian time).

Inter and Roma star in the Final of Italian Cup of this year. Inter beat Fiorentina 1-0 in the Semifinal 1st-leg and 1-0 again in the 2nd-leg. Meanwhile, Roma beat Lazio 2-0 in the Semifinal 1st-leg but lost 2-1 in the 2nd-leg. In the league, both teams are serious challengers for the scudetto of this year. Inter are clear of Roma hardly two points, remaining just two matches to the end. Great opportunity of Inter to obtain “the treble”, which Inter has never achieved before. Whilst Roma have won the Coppa Italia 9 times, the most succesful team in this competition alongside Juventus. Today, the Giallorossi have a great chance to win their 10th trophy.

Lucio is struggling with his injury that he picked-up against Lazio at the weekend. So, Ivan Cordoba could be the replacement in the centre-back. In attack, Inter will be with Samuel Eto’o and Diego Milito, supported by Sneijder in the midfield. For AS Roma, Cassetti is suspended after being sent off against Udinese in the Semifinal. Therefore, Burdisso and Mexes will be in the back. Vucinic is doubtful whilst Luca Toni will be starting on the bench. Totti will be the lone striker.
