In a humiliating 4-1 defeat, Manchester United suffered a significant setback in their UEFA Champions League league phase match at Como's Giuseppe Sinigaglia stadium in Italy. The Red Devils, who had not won a match in six games, were dealt a heavy blow by the Italian side. Nico Paz spearheaded the rout with two goals, while Anastasios Douvikas and Jakobo Ramon added two more to the scorecard. Joshua Zirkzee secured a consolation goal for United, marking his first of the season and year 2026.
Matias de Ligt returned to defense after an 11-month absence, contributing to United's poor performance. Former Manchester United coach Cesc Fabregas, known for his memorable games against the club, witnessed a historic win against his former side. Como's relentless defense collapsed in the second half, allowing them to capitalize with Douvikas scoring a second goal and Paz scoring a third.
Como's fourth goal sealed the win, making them only the second Italian team since Lazio in 1997 to secure their first two home matches in the UCL history. The club now sits on six points from three matches, with a second win in the league phase. Elsewhere, Victor Osimhen scored his first UCL goal of the season for Galatasaray, helping the Turkish League champions to a 4-2 victory against their former club LOSC Lille.
Osimhen's goal came after a perfect run to receive a pass and slot the ball past the goalkeeper, receiving a standing ovation for Galatasaray's first win of the UCL season.
