The draw for the Champions League 2026-2027 has produced some interesting matchups for Bruges, who will face Inter and Napoli as well as Liverpool, PSV, Aston Villa, and Lens. The clash with the Nerazzurri takes on a special flavor due to the ties between the two clubs: Yann Sommer, after leaving Milan on a free transfer, chose the Belgian destination, while Aleksandar Stankovic moved in the opposite direction.

Nicolò Tresoldi, striker for the Belgian club, commented on the draw to local media with enthusiasm. “It’s a dream to play at San Siro. And to see my best friend Stankovic again. I sent him a voice message right after the draw. He replied. He’s incredibly happy too, because he loves the Club. And then Napoli, Stuttgart, and the other matches: it’s a wonderful draw,” said the striker.

The Swiss goalkeeper also spoke about the prospect of returning to Milan as an opponent. “Of course, it’s nice to see the guys again. But I wouldn’t call it a dream at this moment. Playing against Inter with Club Brugge: that, above all, will be incredible. I can’t wait. The Champions League and the whole journey remain something special,” said Sommer.

The European calendar will therefore offer the chance to see familiar faces on both sides again, with the clash at San Siro promising to be full of personal significance for the protagonists.
