Roma's 6-1 'disaster' at the hands of Norwegian minnows Bodo/Glimt has been described as a 'historic flop' by the Italian papers.
A feeling of shock reverberated around Italy as fans saw Jose Mourinho's side ripped apart in the UEFA Conference League group stage match.
Corrieire dello Sport likened it to a 'nightmare' in the nation's capital, while Tuttosport simply called it a 'disaster' from start to finish.
Things continued to go from bad to worse as Mourinho's iconic 'Special One' nickname was used by Norwegian paper Verdens Gang.
Mourinho made nine changes for the midweek encounter and paid a heavy price as his B-team stars were blown away spectacularly.
Bodo had gone 2-0 up in the first half before Carles Perez pulled one back - but Roma, who had fielded a B team in Norway, were swept aside in stunning fashion for Mourinho's biggest ever defeat as manager.
Lorenzo Pellegrini - Roma's captain who came on in the 60th minute of the game - apologised to supporters and said the team were given a 'slap in the face', vowing to learn from the humbling defeat.
