Inter Milan secured a dramatic three-to-two comeback victory over Napoli in Serie A on Saturday, powered by Lautaro Martinez scoring a decisive second goal during injury time at San Siro. The victory keeps Inter at the top of the Italian league standings ahead of their upcoming Champions League opening fixture against Real Madrid on Tuesday. Meanwhile, in Germany, midfielder Jamal Musiala returned to action for Bayern Munich as a second-half substitute during a scoreless draw against Schalke, having missed earlier matches due to preseason neurological issues causing seizures. In England, Erling Haaland scored his third goal of the campaign to lead Manchester City to a one-nil victory over Coventry, maintaining their position at the summit of the Premier League. Additionally, Athletic Bilbao cruised to a three-nil triumph over Atletico Madrid in La Liga under new manager Edin Terzic, rounding off a busy weekend of major European domestic league football action.
