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. 🔴 SUPPORT THE SHOW AND LISTEN AD-FREE Get every single episode completely ad-free, plus exclusive weekly Q&A episodes, post-match reactions and premium interviews: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify Premium Feed⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube Memberships⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📉 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. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Manchester United 3–2 Roma and Feyenoord 0–3 Inter reaction 00:41 - Balerdi–Baresi comparison ages terribly 02:23 - Another Roma collapse at the death 03:07 - Roma should have killed the match 04:07 - Was the Manchester United penalty soft? 05:20 - Roma throw away another opportunity 08:14 - Roma’s Champions League nightmare in England 11:01 - Roma should have secured at least a draw 13:00 - PSG up next for Roma 13:36 - Inter brush Feyenoord aside 14:19 - Djed Spence gives Inter balance 15:49 - Pio Esposito and Zieliński score 16:06 - Martínez must improve his communication 17:22 - Inter’s qualification equation 18:15 - Marotta addresses contract rumours 19:28 - Barella as Inter’s deep-lying playmaker? 21:03 - Inter finally look solid defensively 21:57 - Lens vs Como and Porto vs Napoli reaction tomorrow 💬 WHY DID ROMA COLLAPSE?
