This report combines results from different fixtures and contains major inaccuracies. Real Betis did not draw level with Real Madrid by beating Villarreal, and Inter Milan have not defeated Roma 5–2 this season; Inter and Roma are instead tied on 12 points after four Serie A matches and are scheduled to meet next.
Real Betis’ 2–1 win over Villarreal occurred during the 2025–26 season, not the current early stage of the 2026–27 campaign. In the current La Liga table, Barcelona lead with 15 points from five games, Real Madrid have 12 points from five, and Betis are not level with Madrid.
The Inter–Roma section is also incorrect. Inter’s latest league match was a 5–3 home victory over Udinese, not a 5–2 win over Roma. Udinese led 2–0 inside 16 minutes through James Abankwah and Jürgen Ekkelenkamp, but Inter recovered through Carlos Augusto, Nicolò Barella, Marcus Thuram, Francesco Pio Esposito and Ange-Yoan Bonny.
Roma won their latest match 2–0 away to Torino. Donyell Malen opened the scoring shortly before half-time after Paulo Dybala intercepted a misplaced pass from goalkeeper Lucas Perri, and Niccolò Pisilli added a stoppage-time second. That result kept Roma level with Inter on 12 points from four matches.
Lautaro Martínez did not return from a lengthy injury absence to score twice against Roma. The available match reports identify Inter’s goals against Udinese as coming from Carlos Augusto, Barella, Thuram, Esposito and Bonny, while Lautaro was not among the scorers.
Inter have not erased a four-match winless run. Their victory over Udinese extended a perfect start to the Serie A season, and their next league match against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico will be the first direct meeting between the early pacesetters.
A factually accurate version of the story would centre on Inter’s dramatic comeback against Udinese and Roma’s controlled victory at Torino. Both sides have started with four wins from four, making their forthcoming Serie A meeting a significant early test—though not a title-deciding match at this stage of the season.
