Real Madrid overturn a 3-1 deficit to beat AS Roma 4-3 in a dramatic UEFA Champions League match at the Stadio Olimpico on Jose Mourinho’s return to Roma. BBC Sport and other outlets report that Real score three late goals to erase the hosts’ advantage and complete one of their most remarkable comebacks.
Roma take the lead through Marten de Roon and then extend it after Kylian Mbappe levels before the break. Donyell Malen scores twice early in the second half, putting Roma firmly in control. However, Real’s turnaround is driven by set pieces: Carlos Espi reduces the deficit from a corner, Endrick adds a second shortly after, and Antonio Rudiger completes the comeback with a close-range finish in the final minutes.
Coverage across outlets also highlights the context of the matchup. Mourinho, previously in charge at Roma during the club’s Europa League and Conference League run, is welcomed by Roma fans during his return. While reporting differs in emphasis—some focusing on Mourinho’s reunion, others on the timing and nature of the comeback—the match details align: late Real goals, a final score of 4-3, and Roma left stunned as the game flips in the closing minutes.
