Breaking down an absolute disaster night for Serie A in Europe as Inter Milan suffer a chaotic 3-4 defeat to Club Brugge at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, while Napoli are brushed aside 3-1 by Villarreal at the Estadio de la Cerámica in Vilarreal!
We pull zero punches on a brutal night of Champions League action. For Inter Milan, a brace from Lautaro Martínez and a late stoppage-time strike from Ange-Yoan Bonny weren't enough to cover up defensive humiliation, as a spectacular hat-trick from Nicolò Tresoldi (including a 30' penalty) and a late dagger from Romeo Vermant sealed a historic win for the Belgian visitors at the San Siro in Milan.

Meanwhile in Spain, Massimiliano Allegri's Napoli got off to a dream start with an early goal from Amir Rrahmani, but completely collapsed after catastrophic individual blunders from Matteo Politano gifted goals to Villarreal's Georges Mikautadze and Santiago Mouriño with Tani Oluwaseyi also scoring.
Is Italian football in a deep systemic crisis, are Beppe Marotta and Aurelio De Laurentiis to blame for building flawed, aging squads, or is it all of the above?
Nima Tavallaey breaks down the tactical chaos, the individual howlers, and why a top-8 finish is now officially impossible for both clubs.
