Cesc Fàbregas: Como reached the Champions League five years ahead of schedule

Como manager Cesc Fàbregas has described the upcoming Champions League home match against Manchester United as a dream come true for the entire club and the city. For the Italian side, which was competing in lower divisions just a few years ago, hosting such a decorated opponent at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia marks a historic milestone.

We reached the Champions League five years ahead of our planned schedule. It is an extraordinary gift after a wonderful last season. Cesc Fàbregas

The Spanish coach emphasized that despite the euphoria surrounding the European debut, the team must keep its feet on the ground. Fàbregas highlighted that Serie A remains the primary priority for the club, which has only recently returned to the top flight after a long journey from the amateur Serie D.

Como's progress is remarkable: just three years ago, the club was playing in the second tier of Italian football. Since returning to Serie A in 2024, the team has not only established itself in the league but also started its European campaign strongly, including a 4-1 home victory over RB Leipzig.
