On October 14, Beijing Time (CET), in the second matchday of the Champions League group stage, Inter Milan suffered their second consecutive defeat in the competition, losing 3-4 at home to Club Brugge. Following the match, Italian legend Paolo Di Canio heavily criticized the Nerazzurri's performance.

"Individual errors must be explained; otherwise, the team wouldn't concede so many goals. Let me clarify one thing: in the league, even if you fall behind by two goals, you might still be able to turn it around and win, but in the Champions League, the situation is completely different," Di Canio said on Sky Sport Italia.

"Looking at all of Inter's Champions League defeats, there isn't a single match where you can say, 'they were unlucky.' There may be rare exceptions, but every loss is due to their own mistakes—the situation has changed. They deserved to reach the final twice in the past, with players performing at their peak. Inter's squad doesn't have superstars, though they have talented players who helped them reach the final. However, the last two years show that recruiting veteran players whose abilities are no longer what they once were, players who weren't key figures at their previous clubs, like Akanji, who was a backup at Manchester City and not a cornerstone player—such signings create problems because here, they're expected to be pillars in crucial positions on the pitch."
