Real Madrid scored three goals in the final seven minutes to beat Roma 4-3 after trailing 3-1 in a dramatic UEFA Champions League clash.
Roma held a two-goal lead until the 83rd minute, but Jose Mourinho's side collapsed late as the visitors produced a stunning comeback to secure the victory.
Roma took the lead in the 20th minute when Dutch midfielder Marten de Roon fired a powerful shot into the net from outside the penalty area.
Real Madrid equalised five minutes later through Kylian Mbappe, whose powerful effort took a deflection before going into the net.
The hosts regained the lead in the 51st minute after Donyell Malen capitalised on a defensive mistake. Malen struck again six minutes later, finishing a pass from Matias Soule to put Roma 3-1 ahead.
Real Madrid responded with substitutions, bringing on Endrick and Arda Guler to strengthen their attack.
The changes paid off late in the match. In the 83rd minute, Federico Valverde's header was saved, but substitute Carlos Espi reacted quickly to score from the rebound.
Two minutes later, Endrick headed home from Guler's corner to level the score at 3-3.
Antonio Rudiger completed the comeback in the 90th minute, turning in another corner from Guler to seal a 4-3 victory.
Roma had dominated much of the match and appeared on course for a memorable win, but Real Madrid's late surge turned the contest around.
The victory lifted Real Madrid to eighth in the Champions League standings, while Roma remained 25th.
