Serie A sides suffer Champions League shambles as Real Madrid stun Roma and Feyenoord overturn Como

A night of shame for Italian football in Europe

La Gazzetta dello Sport's front page called it a 'Scempions', playing on scempio, meaning shambles. The pink paper noted that four defeats from four Italian sides in a single Champions League round had never happened before.

Roma led 3-1 at the Stadio Olimpico, only to lose 4-3 to Real Madrid, who turned the game around in eight minutes. Corriere dello Sport described it as a 'Special beffa', a play on Jose Mourinho's 'Special One' nickname, after Carlos Espí, Endrick and Antonio Rüdiger struck late on. Gian Piero Gasperini's side also lost Manu Koné and Paulo Dybala to injury. Mourinho admitted Roma "were superior, then…"

Donyell Malen had scored twice for the hosts, and Mourinho's substitutions proved decisive. Como were also beaten after leading, losing 3-2 to Feyenoord in Rotterdam a day after Inter and Napoli had both fallen.

Pressure on Milan and Juventus

La Gazzetta wrote: 'Milan and Juve, it's over to you.' Milan, under Massimiliano Allegri's successor Igor Tudor's rival Amorim, are in Salzburg in the Europa League, where Francesco Camarda is handed a start for the first time in almost two years alongside Cisse. Amorim said: "I need time."

Juventus travel to Vigo to face Celta at 21:00. Luciano Spalletti insisted: "We can go all the way" and asked his players for respect for the club's history. Tuttosport asked whether this is the night Jonathan Woltemade turns things around, noting the German has been disappointing so far. Lucio Conceição said: "I'm counting on him and I've already switched on battle mode."

Inter and Napoli under scrutiny

Inter have conceded six goals in two games, and Cristian Chivu said: "We need to run more." Josep Martinez is under the spotlight after a series of blackouts, with Inter having lost seven of their last eight European matches. Napoli, meanwhile, are set to make four changes for their trip to Venice, with Meret, Lobotka, Spinazzola and Lang expected to start.

Atalanta and the Tresoldi chase

Atalanta continue their Conference League campaign against Pafos. Italy's coach continues his pursuit of Club Brugge striker Tresoldi, a tug of war with Germany, while Luigi Garlando imagined Mancini persuading the forward after his hat-trick at San Siro.
