Real Madrid produced a dramatic comeback to defeat AS Roma 4-3 in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, scoring three late goals after trailing 3-1 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
Roma took the lead in the 20th minute through Marten de Roon, but Kylian Mbappé equalised five minutes later to give Real Madrid a response before half-time. Roma regained control after the break when Donyell Malen scored in the 51st and 57th minutes, putting the hosts 3-1 ahead.
With the match entering its final minutes, Real Madrid launched a remarkable comeback. Carlos Espí pulled one goal back in the 83rd minute, and Endrick equalised two minutes later to bring the visitors level at 3-3.
Antonio Rüdiger completed the turnaround in the 90th minute, scoring from a corner delivered by Arda Güler to give Real Madrid a 4-3 lead. The late goals turned a match that appeared to be slipping away from the Spanish side into a memorable European victory.
The result gave Real Madrid their second win in the Champions League league phase, following their 2-1 victory over Inter Milan in September. Roma, meanwhile, were left disappointed after surrendering a two-goal advantage at home.
The comeback also highlighted Real Madrid’s ability to find goals late in the match, while Roma were left to consider how they conceded three times in the closing stages.
