Fabio Capello and Alessandro Florenzi explain why Roma’s collapse against Manchester United ‘hurt far more’ than with Real Madrid. ‘This was against some pretty average players.’

The Giallorossi were leading 2-0 at Old Trafford after just 18 minutes with Matias Soulé and Donyell Malen goals, with several opportunities to further extend their advantage.

It was a dominant performance with little sign of a comeback, yet once Bruno Fernandes converted his penalty at the second time of asking at the 58th minute, the repeat pattern felt inevitable.
