Francesco Totti is chasing Serie A legends after netting his 216th goal, moving him into third place in the Serie A all-time scoring charts.

He made his mark in Wednesday night’s game and in the record books just a few hours from his 36th birthday.

He is now level with Italian greats Giuseppe Meazza and Jose Altafini.  Next on the 36-year-old Roma captain’s list is Gunnar Nordhal with 225, which he will most likely achieve.

It seems unlikely, though, that he will catch Italian legend Silvio Piola’s mark of 274 league goals.

The top ten all-time Serie A scorers’ are…

1) Silvio Piola – 274
2) Gunnar Nordhal – 225
3) Giuseppe Meazza, Jose Altafini, Francesco Totti – 216
6) Roberto Baggio – 205
7) Kurt Hamrin – 190
8) Giuseppe Signori, Alessandro Del Piero – 188
10) Gabriel Batistuta – 184
