For Roma, Totti is basically a God. He is their captain since he was 21 yo, a prolific playmaker, a complete number ten, and he was born and raised there.1 trophy or 3 trophies is not remotely the same as many trophies or a lot of trophies
If that difference matters less than the difference between "no trophies" and 1 trophy, in determining whether a player "wasted his career" then the conversation is ridiculous to begin with. That's what I'm saying.
Any frame of classification that says Kane wasted his career yet Totti didn't (seeing he could have won A LOT more elsewhere) is stupid.
Roma is not historically a great club, but they have won a few titles in the past. Very similar with Tottenham.
So when Totti won the league for his boyhood club, it has more weight than, lets say Ibrahimovic trophy with Milan.
In other words, people don't expect Totti to have a trophy laden career. One is suffice enough to establish his godlike figure in his city. His World Cup medal also helps. So, there is a bit of romanticism in play.
