Real Madrid produced another unforgettable European comeback as three late goals transformed a 3-1 deficit into a dramatic 4-3 victory over Roma at the Stadio Olimpico.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Spanish giants appeared to be heading for their first defeat of the 2026\/27 UEFA Champions League league phase after Roma took control through Marten de Roon and a Donyell Malen brace. However, substitutes Carlos Esp\u00ed and Endrick dragged Madrid level before Antonio R\u00fcdiger struck the decisive fourth goal in the 90th minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The victory leaves Real Madrid with six points from their opening two Champions League matches and underlines the squad depth available to manager Jos\u00e9 Mourinho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Roma began confidently and repeatedly tested the visitors from distance. Their pressure was rewarded in the 20th minute when De Roon fired a powerful effort beyond Thibaut Courtois to give the Italian side a deserved lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Madrid responded only five minutes later. A defensive mistake gave Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 a route towards goal, and the French forward\u2019s deflected finish found the net. The goal was a fitting way for Mbapp\u00e9 to mark his 100th Champions League appearance, sending the teams into halftime level at 1-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Roma regained control shortly after the restart. Halftime substitute Rodrigo Mora released Malen, who lifted a composed finish over Courtois in the 51st minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Six minutes later, Malen raced through to score his second goal of the night. The strike was initially ruled out for offside but awarded after a VAR review, putting Roma 3-1 ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With Madrid chasing the game, Mourinho turned to his bench. Arda G\u00fcler, Carlos Esp\u00ed and Endrick were introduced as the visitors searched for a way back into the contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The changes completely altered the closing stages. G\u00fcler provided creativity from dead-ball situations, while Esp\u00ed and Endrick added energy and urgency inside the Roma penalty area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the 83rd minute, Esp\u00ed reacted quickest to a rebound following a corner and converted from close range. Two minutes later, Endrick powered a header into the net from another G\u00fcler delivery to make it 3-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Madrid were not finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the 90th minute, another dangerous corner created panic in the Roma defence. R\u00fcdiger got in front of his marker and guided the ball home, completing a remarkable seven-minute turnaround.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From 3-1 down in the 83rd minute to 4-3 winners by the 90th, Real Madrid again showed why they remain one of the most feared teams in Champions League history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Endrick emerged as the second-half standout after replacing Vinicius Junior. His movement immediately gave Madrid a more direct attacking threat, while his brave header for the equaliser shifted the momentum decisively in the visitors\u2019 favour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Brazilian youngster was named the match MVP after making a huge impact despite receiving limited minutes earlier in the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n His performance also demonstrated the importance of Madrid\u2019s bench. When the starting attack struggled to break Roma down, Esp\u00ed, Endrick and G\u00fcler supplied fresh energy and quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n G\u00fcler\u2019s influence was equally important. Madrid\u2019s final three goals all developed from his corner deliveries, turning set pieces into the visitors\u2019 most effective attacking weapon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vinicius Junior was substituted in the 58th minute with Real Madrid trailing 3-1 and showed visible frustration on the touchline. After the game, however, he praised the players who changed the contest and described Endrick as the best player of the second half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The winger also addressed his difficult personal period, declaring: \u201cI am in a bad moment, but Vini always comes back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n His comments arrived on the same day he received a four-match La Liga suspension following his red card against Villarreal. The punishment was issued for pulling Nathan Saliba\u2019s hair and his subsequent reaction to the referee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vinicius will miss domestic matches against Sevilla, Barcelona, Racing Santander and Valencia\u2014including El Cl\u00e1sico. The suspension applies only to domestic competition, meaning he remains available for Madrid\u2019s Champions League fixtures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This was not a perfect Real Madrid performance. Roma exposed defensive weaknesses, created dangerous openings and were only minutes away from a famous victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, Madrid\u2019s response highlighted three qualities that could define their European campaign: resilience, squad depth and set-piece quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Six points from two league-phase matches give Mourinho\u2019s side a strong platform. Roma, meanwhile, are left with one point despite producing an excellent performance for much of the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For Madrid, the evening belongs to Esp\u00ed, Endrick, R\u00fcdiger and G\u00fcler\u2014the late heroes of another Champions League comeback that looked impossible until the final seven minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Follow the biggest UEFA Champions League matches and explore competitive football odds, pre-match markets and live-betting options with Bangbet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Register, check the latest promotions and bet responsibly on your favourite European teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Football betting involves risk.
