Stadio Olimpico, Rome
📊 Match Insights
After a disappointing defeat to a prestigious European team, Roma must regroup for their Serie A match against Genoa on Saturday night.
The Giallorossi faced Real Madrid midweek but remain unbeaten in Italy's top division. In contrast, Genoa finally secured their first league victory last weekend.
Roma appeared on the verge of a remarkable win against the most successful club in Europe, only to collapse in the final moments, allowing three goals in the last ten minutes of the match.
The turning point came with contributions from former players, as ex-manager Jose Mourinho watched Antonio Rudiger, a former Roma defender, score the pivotal goal in a chaotic finish at Stadio Olimpico.
This defeat marked Madrid's sixth win in seven encounters on Italian soil, leaving Gian Piero Gasperini's side in 25th place in the early Champions League standings.
Currently, Roma have only managed to accumulate one point in that competition, but they have a home game against Slovan Bratislava coming up next Tuesday, following this match.
In Serie A, the team started strong with four consecutive victories, but they have since drawn against title contenders Inter Milan and Como.
Despite pushing for a win against Como last week, star forward Donyell Malen received a red card for a poorly timed tackle, making it a commendable effort to secure an away point. They remain just two points behind leaders Inter and city rivals Lazio, having kept four clean sheets and not conceded a goal in the first half of any league match so far.
