Club Brugge surprised Inter Milan on the second day of the group stage of the Champions League, winning 3-4 at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium and achieving the Belgian team's first historic victory in the competition. The match, played on October 13, 2026 at 9:00 p.m. CEST, became a spectacle of goals and counterattacks that left Inter with their second defeat of the season after their defeat in the debut against Real Madrid.
From the start, Inter showed an offensive game, with two line-up changes compared to the Serie A match. The Nerazzurri came with the intention of scoring, but Brugge's defense remained firm and the Belgian team took advantage of the transitions to launch their first attacks. Bruges striker Manuel Tresoldi opened the scoring in the 30th minute after a penalty, and shortly after scored again in the 63rd minute after a coordination error between goalkeeper Josep Martínez and his centre-backs. Tresoldi completed a hat-trick with a goal in the 74th minute, when he took advantage of a ball that had been cleared by Martínez to score with a header.
Inter responded with a goal from Lautaro Martínez in the 44th minute, which turned the score around and forced Bruges to continue pressing. Despite the efforts of the Belgians, Inter managed a second goal in the 81st minute, when Lautaro scored again after a rebound from Sommer. Lautaro's goal left Inter with a 2-3 lead, but Brugge did not give up and continued to attack with intensity.
In the second half, Bruges increased their lead with a goal from Vermant in the 87th minute, who took advantage of a steal from his teammate Forbs to finish with precision and put the score at 3‑4. Inter tried to react, but the Belgian defense kept up the pressure and Bonny's goal in the 93rd minute was not enough to change the result. The match ended with Inter losing 3‑4, which leaves the Italian team with two defeats in the group stage and the need to improve their performance in the upcoming European matches.
With this defeat, Inter faces pressure to avoid a third drop in the Champions League and to consolidate its position in the group table. For its part, Brugge celebrates a historic victory that reinforces its credibility in the competition and gives it confidence for the upcoming matches. Inter's next match will be crucial to regain confidence and prevent the losing streak from continuing.
