They came from playing in Serie D to the Champion’s league. It took them 119 years to get here but only 15 minutes to score their first ever Champion’s league goal!
Como’s journey to the Champions League is one of the most extraordinary stories in European football. In 2019, the club was playing in Serie D, Italy’s fourth tier. Seven years later, they are dining at Europe’s top table. Wow !!!
The transformation is all because of Cesc Fàbregas who arrived in 2022 as a player and then stayed on as coach from 2024 onwards. Two years later they are in the league of Champions.
Fàbregas has transformed a club that once struggled for basic facilities into a Champions League team. As he himself reflected after qualification, Como had gone from changing in a bar to preparing for the biggest competition in European football.
The fairy tale continues . Como stunned RB Leipzig 4–1 at the Sinigaglia in their debut game. Double wow
