Tresoldi's hat‑trick at San Siro puts Club Brugge into a cinematic night spectacle

Head coach Niels Poissonnier describes how Nicolò Tresoldi effortlessly replaces his ever‑present smile with ‘the eye of the tiger’ during a night that normally only happens in movies. In the second half of the match between Inter and Club Brugge at the San Siro, he scored a hat‑trick, including an eleven‑meter strike that opened the 0‑1.

A cinematic duel in the legendary stadium

The duel took place in the iconic San Siro, an arena that more than two decades ago already witnessed a memorable stunt against AC Milan. Ivan Leko, who was 25 when Club Brugge won at the San Siro in 2003, relived that memory through Tresoldi’s performance. While Inter initially seemed the better team, the game turned when Tresoldi, after a short period in Akanji’s clutches, returned with a keychain and opened the scoring.

How the hat‑trick unfolded

After an initial goal from Lautaro Martínez and an intervention by goalkeeper Sommer that prevented a 3‑3, Tresoldi found the space to score twice more. The third goal came in the closing stages, giving him a rare ten for Club Brugge. The crowd at the San Siro was blown away by the three goals, and even Bonny contributed with a fourth strike in the final minutes.

The match also featured notable moments from other players: Mechele, Vetlesen and Spileers attempted dangerous attacks, while Lee Hanbeom’s brief hype had already faded. Romeo Vermant provided an assist for the 2‑4, and Inter’s Carlos Forbs was injured after a penalty from Çalhanoğlu.

Club Brugge refused to turn down a €35 million offer from AS Roma last summer, meaning Tresoldi remains at the club. The blue‑black top believes that after this season he will leave Belgium for a record fee, possibly more than €40 million.

Ivan Leko grinned at Malpensa Airport and wondered what journalists would write tomorrow about the stunt. His plan to keep the memory of the San Siro alive gained a new dimension thanks to Tresoldi’s phenomenal performance.
