Roma 3-4 Real Madrid | POSTGAME REACTION

Real Madrid come from 3-1 down to beat AS Roma 4-3 away from home in a remarkable Champions League comeback. But José Mourinho's terrible starting lineup and Madrid's dreadful first hour left plenty of questions despite the victory. Sid and Loconte break down Mourinho's tactical mistakes, Roma's dominance, and how the introductions of Arda Güler, Endrick, Bernardo Silva and Carlos Espí completely changed the match. We discuss Vinícius Jr.'s disappointing performance and reaction to being substituted, Jude Bellingham's exhausting workload, Kylian Mbappé's crucial goal, and Yan Diomande's continued emergence. Can Mourinho finally learn from his mistakes, or will Madrid keep relying on individual brilliance to rescue poor performances? With Sevilla, RB Leipzig and Barcelona coming up, Mourinho faces a defining stretch of the season.
