Nicolo Tresoldi’s hat‑trick propelled Club Brugge to a 4‑3 win over Inter Milan in a Champions League group‑stage clash that saw the Belgian side edge a title‑hungry Italian club in a seven‑goal thriller. The victory extended Inter’s unprecedented streak of four consecutive defeats in the competition, the most losses the club has ever recorded in a single Champions League campaign.
Club Brugge entered the match looking to build on a solid start to the season, while Inter were desperate to halt a run of poor form that had seen them lose their first four group‑stage games. The Belgian side’s attack proved too potent for the Italian side, with Tresoldi scoring all four of Brugge’s goals, including a late strike that sealed the win. Inter’s three goals came from a mix of open play and set pieces, but were insufficient to overcome the Belgian onslaught.
The match was a showcase of high‑scoring football, with both teams exchanging leads multiple times. Brugge’s early dominance was challenged by Inter’s resilience, but the Belgian side’s defensive solidity in the final minutes ensured the result stood. The hat‑trick from Tresoldi, who has been a key offensive weapon for Brugge this season, highlighted his ability to perform in crucial moments and cemented his status as a fan favourite.
Inter’s loss marks a historic low for the club, as it is the first time they have lost four consecutive Champions League matches in a single campaign. The defeat has raised questions about the squad’s form and the effectiveness of the current tactical approach. Meanwhile, Club Brugge’s victory boosts their standing in the group, giving them a valuable three points and a confidence‑boosting result against a high‑profile opponent.
Looking ahead, Inter will need to regroup quickly as they prepare for their next group‑stage fixture, hoping to reverse the negative trend and secure a place in the knockout rounds. Club Brugge, buoyed by the win, will look to maintain momentum in their remaining group matches, aiming to finish at the top of their group and secure a spot in the Champions League knockout phase.
