Manchester United 3-2 Roma & Feyenoord 0-3 Inter Reaction: Roma Bottle It Again

MANCHESTER UNITED 3–2 ROMA: ANOTHER SHOCKING COLLAPSE

Roma surrender a two-goal lead to lose 3–2 against Manchester United at Old Trafford in Manchester on UEFA Champions League Matchday 4.

Nima Tavallaey reacts after first-half goals from Matías Soulé and Donyell Malen place Roma in complete control—only for Bruno Fernandes to convert a penalty before Matheus Cunha scores twice to complete Manchester United’s comeback.

🐺 ROMA COLLAPSE AT OLD TRAFFORD

Roma dominate the first half and should put the match beyond United. Instead, another late collapse leaves Gian Piero Gasperini’s side empty-handed.

First Real Madrid and now Manchester United: why do Roma repeatedly surrender control and throw away points in the closing stages of major Champions League matches?

🥛 BALERDI–BARESI COMPARISON AGES TERRIBLY

Gasperini’s comparison between Leonardo Balerdi and Franco Baresi ages like milk in the Sahara as the Roma defender makes a shocking mistake for the equaliser.

⚖️ SOFT PENALTY—BUT ROMA ONLY HAVE THEMSELVES TO BLAME

Gianluca Mancini is clumsy, although the penalty awarded to Manchester United appears soft.

However, the refereeing decision cannot excuse Roma’s inability to kill the match during a dominant first half or protect a two-goal advantage.

📉 ROMA’S CHAMPIONS LEAGUE QUALIFICATION AT RISK

Roma have still never defeated an English club away from home in the Champions League.

Qualification is now under threat, although the Giallorossi retain control of their destiny—with an extremely difficult match against Paris Saint-Germain coming next.

🔵⚫ FEYENOORD 0–3 INTER MILAN

Inter respond emphatically to their Milan derby defeat by cruising to a 3–0 victory over Feyenoord at De Kuip in Rotterdam.

Yann Bisseck opens the scoring before Francesco Pio Esposito returns to the scoresheet and Piotr Zieliński completes the victory with a trademark long-range strike.

⭐ DJED SPENCE GIVES INTER BALANCE

Djed Spence produces a Player of the Match performance, giving Inter balance both with and without possession.

The Nerazzurri finally look solid defensively—but Josep Martínez is fortunate not to gift Feyenoord a goal and must improve his communication with the defenders in front of him.

🧮 INTER’S QUALIFICATION EQUATION

Inter must win two of their remaining matches against Liverpool, Stuttgart, Borussia Dortmund and Slovan Bratislava to secure qualification.

Nima also reacts to Beppe Marotta addressing the contract rumours surrounding Federico Dimarco and Hakan Çalhanoğlu—and argues that Nicolò Barella should eventually replace Çalhanoğlu as Inter’s deep-lying playmaker.
