Como and Cesc Fabregas make a statement in Serie A ahead of Champions League debut

Como and Cesc Fabregas are making a statement in Serie A ahead of their Champions League debut. The ambitious club, situated on a picturesque lake in Italy, is now seen as a possible contender in the Italian league. Following a 2-1 victory against Napoli, Como's confidence is soaring as they prepare to face Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, and Barcelona in the prestigious competition.

Fabregas acknowledged that winning at Napoli, the Maradona's stadium, is not an easy task. The team's pressing style of play, which has been a key factor in their recent success, proved decisive in the match. Center forward Anastasios Douvikas, who scored in a 1-1 draw at Udinese, has been praised by Fabregas for his powerful presence on the field.

With the Champions League on the horizon, Fabregas is eager to add another goal-scoring striker to the team. He has his sights set on Italy's Moise Kean, who is set to leave Fiorentina ahead of the transfer window. Currently, Como's options are limited, with Alvaro Morata out injured and loaned to Leganes.

The recent win against Napoli has raised the possibility of Como challenging for the Italian title. However, the team is still in the early stages of their Champions League journey. Their first match will be against Leipzig on September 10 at their expanded Giuseppe Sinigaglia stadium, which will accommodate a smaller crowd for these European encounters.
