Champions League: Mourinho’s Real Madrid stage crazy comeback on Roma return
Real Madrid scored three late goals to come back from 3-1 down to beat Roma while Bodø/Glimt kept up their home form against Borussia Dortmund
Background: how the league phase works
The Champions League format introduced in 2024/25 puts 36 clubs in a single league table. Each club plays eight different opponents, with four matches at home and four away. A win earns three points and a draw earns one. Because teams face different opponents, a single result does not tell the whole story of a club's position.
The top eight advance directly to the round of 16. Teams finishing ninth to 24th enter a two-legged knockout play-off; those finishing 25th or lower are eliminated. When following a match report, distinguish the result from its effect on qualification: that depends on the wider table and the fixtures still to come.
