Tresoldi hat-trick gives Club Brugge 4-3 victory over Inter
Nicolò Tresoldi, a 22-year-old Italian-born Germany Under-21 forward, scored all three of Club Brugge’s first goals in a stunning 4-3 Champions League win over Inter at San Siro. He converted a first-half penalty after Hakan Calhanoglu fouled Carlos Forbs, pounced on an error by goalkeeper Josep Martínez for his second and reacted quickest for the third. Lautaro Martínez twice gave Inter hope, assisted for the opener by a Federico Dimarco back-heel, but Romeo Vermant made it 4-2 in the 87th minute before Ange-Yoan Bonny’s stoppage-time consolation. Having lost at Real Madrid, Inter are on zero points before hosting Shakhtar Donetsk; Brugge, beaten by Aston Villa, next face Lens.
Bayern Munich were held 3-3 at Viking Stavanger after trailing 2-0 through Gianni Stensness and Peter Christiansen. Harry Kane scored twice and created another to put Bayern 3-2 up, but Michael Olise was sent off for two quick yellow cards and Herman Haugen equalised in the final minute; Olise will miss the Arsenal game. Barcelona won 4-1 at Galatasaray despite Aleksey Batrakov’s deflected opener and a disallowed Baris Yilmaz goal, with João Cancelo equalising before Lamine Yamal inspired second-half goals for Fermín López, Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi.
Elsewhere, Villarreal beat Napoli 3-1, Brajan Gruda gave RB Leipzig a 1-0 win over PSV after Maarten Vandevoordt saved Ivan Perisic’s penalty, Azerbaijani side Sabah earned a first league-phase win by beating Slavia Prague 2-0, and Sporting won 2-0 at Lens through Luis Suárez and Issa Doumbia.
