Inter - Club Brugge: team news and expert analysis
The Milan giants won the "double" last season, Chivu's first in charge as head coach. They have also made a winning start this campaign, although they have often conceded first. Only against Roma in the capital did they have to settle for coming back from 0-2 to draw. When hosting Parma, they secured a convincing 3-0 victory.
The club from the "Jan Breydel" reclaimed the league title in the spring, overtaking their main rival of recent years, Union Saint-Gilloise. After the summer break, they began by losing to the same opponent on penalties in the Super Cup. However, they suffered only one setback in the opening stretch of the Pro League, against Gent. In October, they recorded another emphatic victory, beating La Louvière 4-1.
The Italians were immediately handed the toughest possible opponent in the Champions League: Real Madrid. They looked more than capable at the Santiago Bernabéu, but lost 1-2 due to their own mistakes. The Belgians hosted a seemingly crisis-hit Aston Villa. They even scored twice, but still went down 2-3.
