Martínez leads Inter comeback over Napoli and Musiala returns for Bayern

Lautaro Martínez struck a second goal in injury time to complete Inter Milan’s 3-2 comeback win over title rival Napoli in Serie A on Saturday, while Jamal Musiala returned to the field for Bayern Munich in a scoreless draw with Schalke. Musiala played his first minutes in the Bundesliga this season after the Bayern midfielder had collapsed in two preseason games because of a neurological issue which causes seizures. In Spain, Athletic Bilbao struck three times in the second half to beat Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid 3-0 in La Liga, while Erling Haaland led Manchester City to another victory in the Premier League.

Martínez to the rescue in Italy It was a night of comebacks in Serie A, with Roma joining Inter with a dramatic two-goal rally in the dying minutes that kept the teams at the top of the standings with three wins in as many rounds. Martínez’s goals ensured that Inter kept up its early title defense. Napoli looked to be comfortably in charge after Matteo Politano and Rasmus Højlund scored in the 50th and 53rd minutes.

But Martínez pulled one back three minutes later and Marcus Thurman equalized in the 82nd just moments after hitting the post. Martínez found the winner after Manuel Akanji scrambled a loose ball to him at the far post to poke home, unleashing celebrations at San Siro. Napoli, under new coach Massimiliano Allegri, has now lost two in a row after falling to Como.

Next up for Inter is a trip to Real Madrid in their Champions League opener on Tuesday. Matías Soulé led Roma with a late assist and goal to beat Atalanta 2-1. The forward set up Mario Hermoso in the 90th, canceling out the opener by Éderson.

Soulé then struck three minutes into stoppage time to grab the victory. Musiala plays after collapsing in preseason Musiala went on as a second-half substitute in Bayern’s 0-0 draw with Schalke. He had missed the season opener against Stuttgart.

It was the first time Bayern had failed to score in a German league game since February 2025. A superb performance by goalkeeper Loris Karius helped Schalke take its first point against Bayern since 2017. Small-town club Elversberg continued a dream start to its first-ever Bundesliga season with another upset win, beating Borussia Moenchengladbach 4-3 with a stoppage-time winner.
