Inter Milan, unbeaten in Serie A, face Belgian side Club Brugge in their first Champions League clash of the season.
By Felo News Desk · Published
Inter Milan will host Club Brugge at the San Siro on Tuesday, Oct 13, 2026, in the league phase of the UEFA Champions League, according to Sportskeeda.
What happened
Inter entered the group stage after a 2-1 loss to Real Madrid on Sep 8 at the Santiago Bernabéu, a match in which Kylian Mbappé and Federico Valverde gave Madrid an early lead before Inter pulled one back via a 77th‑minute strike from Carlos Augusto. In Serie A, Inter sit top of the table with 16 points from six games, having won five and drawn one, and remain unbeaten in the Italian top flight. Their most recent domestic win was a 3-0 victory over Parma at the San Siro, with goals from Petar Sučić, Hakan Çalhanoğlu (penalty) and Marcus Thuram.
Club Brugge sit second in the Belgian Pro League with 21 points from eight matches, one point behind leaders Gent. They have lost only once, a 2-1 defeat to Gent, and have won seven of their eight league games, including a 4-1 away win over La Louvière. In the Champions League, Brugge lost 3-2 at home to Aston Villa on Sep 8, a game that featured goals from Nicolò Tresoldi and Hugo Vetlesen for Brugge and a trio of strikes from Nicolas Jackson, Emiliano Buendía and John McGinn for Villa.
What the reports add
Sportskeeda notes that this will be the first ever meeting between the two clubs. Inter have three European Cup titles (1963‑64, 1964‑65, 2009‑10) while Club Brugge have never won the competition. The outlet also highlights that Brugge’s last 13 Champions League matches, qualifiers included, have averaged over 2.5 goals per game.

How it came about
Inter’s strong domestic start and their narrow loss to Real Madrid set the stage for a home clash against a Belgian side that has been dominant in its own league but struggled to translate that form into Europe. The match follows Inter’s recent 3-0 Serie A win and Brugge’s 4-1 Belgian league victory, both of which suggest attacking intent heading into the group fixture.
