Report: Roma Collapse at Old Trafford After Strong First Half

Roma lost in comeback fashion away to Manchester United in the Champions League, according to a report by Corriere dello Sport. The Italian outlet said Roma led through two first-half goals and created further chances while conceding no danger before the break, but then produced a "negative" second-half display and conceded three goals as the hosts turned the match around.

The report said Gian Piero Gasperini set up with three attackers supported by several defensive-minded players, and that the approach yielded an energetic, aggressive Roma in the first half. It added that United, described as already struggling, could not cope with that opponent before the interval.

Corriere dello Sport said Roma started Vasquez in place of Svilar, with Gollini also unavailable, and framed the result against the club's poor record at Old Trafford. It reported that the second-half collapse left Roma as a "lost spectator" to events and raised questions about the team's inability to sustain its level for a full match, with the Champions League table now described as very complicated. The report did not give a final scoreline.
