Real Madrid comeback stuns Roma as Mourinho enjoys happy reunion
ROME: Jose Mourinho enjoyed a Roma reunion to remember as Real Madrid completed an astonishing comeback by scoring three late goals to claim a 4-3 away win in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Roma faced an astonishing turnaround as Real Madrid staged a remarkable comeback, winning 4-3 in a Champions League match on Wednesday. Jose Mourinho, who led Roma to UEFA Conference League and Europa League glory, enjoyed a nostalgic reunion with his former team. The Portuguese coach led his men to victory in Roma's first Champions League home match in over seven years.
Marten de Roon opened the scoring for the visitors in the 20th minute, and Kylian Mbappe equalized for Roma on his 100th Champions League appearance at the break. However, Donyell Malen's two goals in six minutes shifted the momentum in Real's favor, leaving Roma struggling. Despite being down to ten men for the final six minutes, Real Madrid seized the opportunity and scored three goals from corners, none other than Antonio Rudiger, to stun the home crowd.
