Real Madrid come from 3-1 down to beat Roma on Champions League travels

Real Madrid stage incredible comeback to beat Roma 4-3 in Champions League

The full report

Real Madrid completed an astonishing comeback by scoring three late goals to claim a 4-3 away win in the Champions League against Roma on Wednesday.

The match saw a dramatic turnaround, with Roma taking a 3-1 lead early in the second half before Real Madrid scored three goals in the final seven minutes to turn the game on its head.

The comeback was sparked by corners, with Carlos Espi, Endrick, and Antonio Rudiger scoring the crucial goals to seal the win for Real Madrid.

Roma's Donyell Malen had given the hosts a 2-1 lead with two goals in the space of six minutes, but Real Madrid's late surge proved too much for the Italian side.

The win marked a memorable return to Roma for Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho, who had previously led the Italian side to the UEFA Conference League title and an Europa League final.

Mourinho was honored by the Roma fans with banners and chants, and the home crowd had started strongly, with Mario Hermoso forcing Thibaut Courtois into a flying fingertip save early in the match.

However, Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappe marked his 100th Champions League appearance with a goal to level the scores at the break, and the French striker's deflected shot flew into the roof of the net to give Real Madrid their first meaningful chance of the game.
