Como's Cesc Fabregas Prepares for Historic Clash with United
Como is set to face Manchester United in a Champions League tie, a match described by head coach Cesc Fabregas as historic for the club, city, and supporters. United arrives in Italy after a six-match winless streak, their worst since the 2018-19 season.
Como's rise from Serie D to the Champions League in five seasons under Fabregas has been remarkable, especially given their previous status as a semi-professional club. Chief executive Mirwan Surwaso noted that the club's amateur status initially attracted Sent Entertainment, owned by Indonesian billionaires Robert Budi Hartono and Michael Bambang Hartono, who had different plans before the club's promotion.
Fabregas emphasized humility and focus, urging players not to dwell on past achievements. The match will take place at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, which has a capacity of 12,300, and heavy rain is forecast for kick-off.
Como's compliance with UEFA's financial rules has been questioned, but Surwaso stated the club maintains proper financial records.
