Real Madrid stun Roma with late comeback as Inter lose to Brugge

The second round of Champions League matches brought Inter against Club Brugge and Roma against Real Madrid. Fanpage listed the Italian clubs' fixtures across October 13 and 14.

For Madrid manager Jose Mourinho, the trip to Roma was also a return to his former club, according to Al Jazeera. Before the match, he interrupted questions from Spanish journalists to give Italian reporters a turn, Fanpage reported.

On October 13, ANSA reported that Club Brugge had scored four against Inter. Tresoldi scored a hat-trick, Lautaro scored twice, and the report highlighted another error by Martinez. Inter were left with no points.

At the Stadio Olimpico, Mourinho received a warm welcome. On October 14, Adnkronos described chants and banners, including a display showing him with the Conference League trophy won in 2022. He responded by blowing a kiss towards the Curva Sud.

Roma then built a 3-1 lead against Madrid. Marten de Roon and Donyell Malen were among the home side's scorers, according to nu.nl, but their goals did not secure victory.

Madrid scored three times in the final seven minutes to win 4-3, with every goal in that late rally coming from a corner, ESPN FC reported. The comeback turned Mourinho's reunion into an away victory.

The coverage contains a timing discrepancy: the BBC's initial report carries an October 13 date, while the Guardian places the match on Wednesday, October 14. Reports also differ slightly on the comeback's duration, with ANSA describing eight minutes rather than seven.

Madrid leave Rome with a 4-3 victory after being two goals behind late in the match. Al Jazeera described the result as easing pressure on Mourinho.

For Roma, the defeat also brought an injury concern, with ANSA reporting that Konè was hurt. Inter's position is clearer in the supplied coverage: after the Brugge defeat, they remain without points, according to ANSA.
