On Wednesday night, Roma had a 3-1 lead until the 83rd minute but a 10 minute barrage from Real Madrid prevented the Giallorossi from defeating the European giants. Roma were undone by two ‘exes’, as former boss Jose Mourinho watched ex-Roma defender Antonio Rudiger score the deciding goal in a frantic finale at Stadio Olimpico. Tonight it was a similar situation: Roma’s legend Daniele De Rossi was on the Genoa bench, while Stephan El Shaarawy was on the pitch facing his former team. But relegation-battling guests are far from Real. The former Roma pair couldn’t produce a single goal in Rome, yet they managed a win, as they were defeated 2-0 in a poor game. It was actually El Shaarawy who had the biggest chance for the visitors in the 33rd minute, but he hit the post. Coach Gasperini found a way to secure a win without fielding his strongest 11 and kept up with leading Inter in a battle for Serie A champion.Unlike the Champions League game with Real, the first half against Genoa was po..

Since December 2024, the two teams have met seven times, with Bayern winning 5–1 on two occasions, recording a 6–0 victory in last season’s opening fixture, and now producing another six-goal performance tonight — 6–1. What will please Kompany ahead of the Champions League clash with Arsenal is Luis Díaz’s return to form..
