Inter’s Champions League start falters as Treso scores hat‑trick for Club Brugge

Inter Milan hosted Club Brugge in the second group match of the Champions League on the 13th, seeking their first win in the competition after a 1‑2 defeat to Real Madrid. Despite leading Serie A after six unbeaten games, the Italian side fell behind early when Nicolo Treso converted a penalty in the 30th minute.

Inter equalised before half‑time when Lautaro Martinez scored from a quick turn‑around pass by Federico Di Marco at the 44th minute. The second half remained tightly contested until Treso completed a hat‑trick, adding goals in the 63rd and 74th minutes, the latter after a rebound from Romeo Vermant’s strike.
