On that occasion, numerous criticisms and insults rained down for Cristian’s physique, who has been subjected to many heavy episodes of body shaming. Today, for his first starting debut at the Bruno Nespoli stadium, his father Francesco is also present.
What Happened
The match, which ended in a 1-1 draw, saw Cristian take the field in the second half, a debut awaited by many, also due to the great name he carries.
However, what generated the most talk was not his performance, but the fierce attack he suffered online. On social media, the video of his debut, published by Sportitalia, sparked a flood of offensive comments, often directed not only at young Totti but also at his parents, Francesco Totti and Ilary Blasi.

Among the most vulgar and disrespectful comments are phrases like “This one has both Ilary’s feet and his te**es,” “Now I’m going to make him pasta,” and “Captain sausage,” referring to the young man’s physique. Body shaming was the main theme of the criticisms, with numerous users ridiculing Cristian for his physical appearance, insinuating that he was unfit for football due to alleged overweight. Furthermore, many leveled accusations of nepotism, suggesting that Cristian was chosen only for his last name and not for his abilities on the field.
Francesco Totti’s Words
“There aren’t any particular emotions for this first time, it’s not the first time I’ve gone to see him play. Regarding the criticisms he has received, there’s little to say; they are just bar chatter made by those who know nothing. But I repeat, let’s not give weight to bar chatter,” declared Francesco Totti, historic former captain and symbol of Roma, just before the kickoff of today’s match which represents his son Cristian’s starting debut with the Olbia jersey.
