Italian striker Nicolo Tresoldi delivered a standout performance for Club Brugge, netting a hat-trick to secure a 4-3 victory over Inter Milan in a thrilling Champions League encounter. The result was particularly historic for the Italian giants, as it marked Inter Milan's fourth consecutive defeat in the competition—an unprecedented record in the club’s storied European history. The match lived up to its billing as a high-scoring affair, with both sides trading blows until the final whistle.
The deadlock was broken in the 30th minute when Tresoldi converted a penalty to give the Belgian side the lead. However, Inter Milan responded just before the halftime break, with Lautaro Martinez finding the back of the net to level the score at 1-1. The momentum shifted back to Club Brugge in the second half, largely due to a critical error from Inter's goalkeeper, which allowed Tresoldi to claim his second goal of the night. Shortly after, the Italian forward completed his hat-trick, extending Club Brugge's advantage to 3-1.
Despite the deficit, Inter Milan continued to fight back, with Martinez scoring his second goal of the match to narrow the gap. Club Brugge quickly restored their two-goal cushion through Vermant, making it 4-2. A late strike from Ange-Yoan Bonny for Inter Milan set up a nervous finish, but the Belgian side held firm to claim all three points. The defeat leaves Inter Milan searching for answers as they struggle to find form in Europe, while Club Brugge celebrates a major scalp in the competition.
