I don't remember a time when Totti did shine in a big occasion. If you ask me, the last time he was asked to bring his team to victory, the result was that he spat on a player.
Not that Alex is always great in big matches (let's say noone is perfect
), but at least sometimes he did shine in his career in important games.

I have the feeling Del Piero will score a classic and unforgettable goal which wins us a title this year. And by that turning all his bashers and former fans to his side again.
Except for that, he's been pretty crappy this season in total. But... right now things are looking to be heading the right way for him.

I don't think Del Piero has been crappy. He has been awfully inconsistent, but despite having problems with Capello and his achilles tendon he's still our topscorer and has put in some match-winning performances. He has been very good in patches, quite poor at times, but overall I'd say he's having a decent season.
Moggi Applauds Del Piero’s Fair Play

In a very tense and rough game, the Juve captain’s non-reaction towards Cufre’s slap was the highlight of the match.
That Roma-Juve would have been a very hard-fought encounter was something that was quite obvious, but that it would turn into such a battle was something of a disgrace according to the Bianconeri’s General Director Luciano Moggi.
“On the pitch it was a game of kicks. We had already warned our players during the week and invited them many times not to accept the provocations and don’t react. And so it was.”
Moggi had words of praise for Alessandro Del Piero who did not create a scene when at one point Cufre tried to provoke the Juve captain by slapping him on the face.
“Did you see what happened to Del Piero? When they say that our players are professionals apart from champions...They slapped him and he did not react, on the contrary, he responded with fair play which Cufre will not forget for a long time: he complimented his opponent for the nice gesture…”
