Notes:

Home shirt as worn by Francesco Totti during the 2004 UEFA European Championship and the early stages of the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification. Totti, wearing the iconic #10, was one of Italy’s key playmakers. However, the Euro 2004 campaign was marked by disappointment for both Italy and Totti. The Italian team was eliminated in the group stage, and Totti was involved in a controversial incident.

In the opening game against Denmark, Totti was caught spitting at Danish player Christian Poulsen, leading to a three-match suspension. This severely limited his involvement in the tournament, and his absence was felt as Italy struggled to progress.

Despite this setback, Totti remained a crucial figure for the national team, and he played an important role in Italy’s successful qualification for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, where they would eventually become champions.

This shirt represents both a challenging moment in Totti’s career and his resilience, as he continued to contribute significantly to Italian football in the years leading up to the World Cup victory.
