Join us for all the build-up and action as it happens from the Champions League, as Inter host Club Brugge, while Napoli face a difficult trip to Villarreal.
They both kick off at 20.00 UK time (21.00 CEST).
The Nerazzurri are seeking their first points in Europe after the 2-1 defeat away to Real Madrid, while the Partenopei also suffered a loss at home with Arsenal.
Both are fresh from 3-0 Serie A victories on Saturday against Parma and Frosinone respectively.
Villarreal shock
We saw goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi was not in the squad, but we just found out why…
He and his family were at home when armed burglars invaded the house and stole items early this morning. Fortunately, everyone is unhurt, but naturally he cannot focus on a game only hours later.

Raul Albiol played for both Villarreal and Napoli, so he is in the stadium for tonight’s game and will try hard not to cheer anyone on.
“It is a special game, I’ll wear one shirt for one half and another for the second.”
This will be the first ever meeting between Inter and Club Brugge.
Striker Nicolo’ Tresoldi was born in Italy and raised in Germany, so has not yet decided which nation he will play for. What he is confident of, however, is that he supports Milan…
