Nicolò Tresoldi admits scoring a hat-trick for Club Brugge to beat Inter at San Siro is ‘incredible, indescribable,’ but it won’t affect his choice between Italy and Germany. ‘I spoke to both.’

Only one player had previously been able to score a hat-trick against Inter in the Champions League here and that was Gareth Bale for Tottenham Hotspur.

It was an extra special night for Tresoldi, who was born in Italy and moved to Germany as a child with his family, because he is a lifelong supporter of the Nerazzurri’s bitter rivals Milan.

The 22-year-old arrived at the post-match interview with the match ball tucked under his arm and a huge grin on his face.

“I’m almost more anxious now than I was before kick-off,” smiled Tresoldi, who speaks perfect Italian, on Sky Sport Italia.

“It was incredible, indescribable, I had dreamed so many times of a night like this, but to score three goals and win here at San Siro is beyond words. All my family and friends were in the stands too, it’s just fantastic.”

Tresoldi had scored six goals in eight games so far this season, including one in the Champions League, and added three in one go tonight.

“I did receive many messages from Milan fans before the game, they were telling me to score and win. I am happy first of all for Club Brugge to have won, for all of Belgian football, but I will admit it was a bit of a derby for me. It’s a lot!”
