Tresoldi's hat-trick propels Bruges after the win in Milan

Under the lights of the San Siro stadium, Club Bruges gave Matteo Tresoldi an evening he will describe as "life": a hat‑trick that sealed the win against Inter Milan and allowed the Brussels side to claim their first three points in the Champions League.

Key performances

Louis Janssen highlighted the brilliance of Carlos Forbs, who was "sparkling" from the kickoff. The midfielder then won the penalty that opened the scoring, confirming the importance Leko places on him. Sommer, rated 8, made a decisive foot save against Lautaro Martinez, a gesture of great class that justifies his transfer.

Individual ratings

The match ratings highlighted several players: Spileers (7) was preferred over Lee and held his place until the injury after a collision with Dimarco. Mechele (7) was out‑muscled by Martinez on the first goal, but repaid the captain of Inter. Seys (7) displayed solid defensive positioning against Diouf’s physique, impressing towards the end of the game.

Leko bets on the Bruges side's courage against Inter in Milan

Potts (8) delivered his best performance in blue and black, while Vanaken (6) overcame a difficult start to gain confidence. Vetlesen (6) never counts his efforts but shows glaring limitations. Virgili (7) saw his shot skim the post, yet remained a constant threat.

Consequences and outlook

This victory allows Bruges to quickly forget the defeat to Aston Villa on matchday one, where they had lost their first points. The success in Milan puts the players under the scrutiny of Mark van Bommel, who will soon compile his next list of Red Devils. Leko, rated 9, sees his plan work perfectly, the Spileers gamble paying off despite Forbs’s injury.
