Aoba Fujino scored twice as Manchester City Women claimed their first win of this season's UEFA Women's Champions League, beating Inter Milan 4-1 in Italy on Tuesday 10 November 2026.

City had drawn all three of their league-phase games before travelling to Italy, and they fell behind again when Elisa Bartoli put Inter ahead in the 24th minute. Fujino levelled nine minutes later and then struck again on the stroke of half-time to turn the match around. Kerstin Casparij made it 3-1 in the 56th minute before Grace Clinton completed the scoring in the 70th minute.

Fujino turns the game around

Inter, playing in the main draw of the competition for the first time, made a confident start and took the lead through Bartoli midway through the first half. But City, who had fought back from two goals down to draw 2-2 at Bayern Munich earlier in the campaign, refused to panic.

Fujino's equaliser in the 33rd minute settled the visitors, and her second goal just before the break gave Andrée Jeglertz's side a lead they never looked like giving up. City controlled the second half, with Casparij and Clinton adding further goals to make the result comfortable.

City's first European win of the season

The victory was City's first in the league phase after three successive draws, against Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain. The three points lift them to six points from four games and keep them well placed in the race for the knockout places.

City arrived in Italy in strong domestic form. They went into the game top of the Women's Super League after a 5-0 win over West Ham on Saturday, in which striker Khadija Shaw scored a hat-trick. Shaw, who had scored in each of City's first three European games this season, was kept off the scoresheet in Milan, but Fujino's brace more than made up for that.

What the result means for Inter

Inter had four points from their first three games, having beaten BK Häcken and drawn with Austria Vienna before a heavy defeat by Lyon. The loss to City leaves the Italian side on four points from four matches, with work still to do to reach the knockout stage.

Inter had reached the main draw by beating two-time European champions Wolfsburg in qualifying, losing 2-0 in Germany before winning 3-1 after extra time at home and holding their nerve in the penalty shootout.

What happens next

Manchester City return to domestic action with a Women's Super League meeting against Chelsea on Saturday, a match between the top two sides in the table. Their next Champions League game is away to BK Häcken on 18 November.

Inter will look to bounce back in their remaining league-phase fixtures, with Arsenal due to visit them in the final round of games on 16 December.
