'We believe in our chances'published at 19:52 Greenwich Mean Time
Inter Milan v Arsenal (20:00 GMT)
Image source, Getty ImagesInter Milan have only lost once all season - and have won seven of their last eight games.
Boss Simone Inzaghi said: "We know we are working well. We know what awaits us – Arsenal are among the strongest teams in Europe – but we are playing in our stadium and we believe in our chances.
"We want to keep the ball as much as we can. Arsenal can cause us problems when they have ball, but we can do the same when we're in possession."
Villa way below their usual standardpublished at 19:51 Greenwich Mean Time
FT: Club Brugge 1-0 Aston Villa
Stephen Warnock
Former Aston Villa defender on MOTD: UEFA Champions LeagueIt was a poor Villa performance all round.
They gifted Brugge their goal but they were sloppy defensively on a few other occasions too, and poor on the ball when they tried to build from the back.
Once they were behind they did really not do enough to get back into the game. Their quality on the ball was way below their usual standard and there was not enough energy in their team. They are usually so creative in possession but their final ball was not good enough to break Brugge down, and I was particularly disappointed by their set-pieces.
You can hear more from Warnock on MOTD: Uefa Champions League at 22:50 BST on BBC One and the BBC Sport website and app.

Inter Milan v Arsenal (20:00 GMT)
Image source, Getty ImagesArsenal come into the game in shaky form, having picked up one point in their last three Premier League games.
"With everything we’ve been through here in four or five years, what a great place we are in because we’ve been with problems of all kinds," said Gunners boss Mikel Arteta.
"We are in an incredible moment and we are blessed to be where we are.
"We’re going to play this competition, we’re going to play 70 games, we’re going to have injuries, we’re going to have defeats like many other teams and it shows where we are and then how good we’re going to be to react and be ourselves and come here to win again."

It's finished 2-1 in Germany where goals from Heorhiy Sudakov and Oleksandr Zubkov were enough to secure Shakhtar Donetsk their first victory of this Champions League campaign, despite Kastriot Imeri opening the scoring for Swiss side Young Boys.

Chris Sutton
Former Premier League striker on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraI am slightly worried for Villa and the form they are in. There's a lot of Premier League clubs complaining about fatigue, it's about squad depth. The performance was so flat this evening.

Inter Milan v Arsenal (20:00 GMT)
As well as bringing you reaction from Belgium, let's start building up to our featured late game now as Inter Milan take on Arsenal at the San Siro.
Both sides have started the Champions League with two wins and a draw.
The draws were both 0-0s against teams from the opponents' country - Inter against Manchester City and Arsenal against Atalanta.

A disjointed, tired-looking game from Villa. You've got to feel for Mings there, but he'll laugh about it one day (hopefully).

FT: Club Brugge 1-0 Aston Villa
Aston Villa's players are still seething with that penalty and Emi Martinez heads to the referee to make his feelings known. Don't forget you can watch that moment of madness on the MOTD highlights show later tonight and we'll also bring you a clip of it.
No matter for Club Brugge, they'll be delighted. It is their first win over an English club in 14 European games, drawing three and losing 11 since a 1-0 win over Chelsea in the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1995.

Former Premier League striker on BBC Radio 5 Sports ExtraBonkers! Madness from Mings. Villa tonight got what they deserved. Brugge were the better team and Villa going through a phase in the season where it all feels a bit flat.

Club Brugges win a free-kick and you would think that would be that.

Villa's form is worrying and it isn't just this game. Bailey and Watkins look at 20%, Cash and Carlos looking likely to give away penalties (and let's not even mention what Mings has just done). Our bench should be decent, but other than Duran our substitutions seem unable to influence things. Not sure what is needed, but if it doesn't change soon I fear our season will fizzle out soon.

Match Facts
Internazionale and Arsenal only met previously in the 2003-04 UEFA Champions League – both games were away wins (Arsenal 0-3 Inter, Inter 1-5 Arsenal).
Arsenal have failed to score in each of their last four away UEFA Champions League games in Italy (D1 L3), with Emmanuel Adebayor the last Gunners player to score there in a 2-0 win over Milan in March 2008.
Although only five teams have faced more shots in the UEFA Champions League this season than Internazionale (53), they have kept three clean sheets so far. They have never kept four in a row in their European Cup history.
Internazionale have the oldest average starting XI in the UEFA Champions League this season (30 years, 139 days). They have also given the most minutes to players aged 30+ in 2024-25 (1,482).
Only Atalanta (4) have faced fewer shots on target in the UEFA Champions League this season than Arsenal (5), with the Gunners keeping three clean sheets so far. They last had a run of four consecutive clean sheets in November 2007.
All three of Arsenal’s UEFA Champions League goals this season have come in the first half. In the second half of matches, they have had only nine shots, with only Sparta Prague having fewer (8).
Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus could become the 43rd Brazilian player to make 50 UEFA Champions League appearances if he appears in this game. The last Brazilian to score on his 50th game was Lucas Moura in May 2019 in a hat-trick for Spurs vs Ajax, though Jesus has gone seven without a goal for the Gunners since netting in each of his first four games for the club.
Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer has kept seven clean sheets in 10 UEFA Champions League appearances for the club. That 70% clean sheet percentage is the best of any goalkeeper with 10+ appearances at a club in the competition.
Gabriel Martinelli has created five chances following a carry (moving 5+ metres with the ball) in the UEFA Champions League this season; the most of any player through the opening three matchdays. Indeed, he’s created the joint-most chances for Arsenal in the competition this term (6 – level with Kai Havertz), while also having the highest expected assists total (1.25).
Across the opening three matchdays of this season’s UEFA Champions League, the two players who made the most high-intensity pressures were Internazionale’s Mehdi Taremi and Arsenal’s Kai Havertz (211 each). For Havertz, he also made the most specifically in the final third in this period (92).
