How Como became a phenomenon of Italian football
The story of Como 1907 is one of the most beautiful tales in modern football. The club from the shores of Lake Como, taken over by owners with a genuine passion for the game, climbed from Serie C to Serie A in just a few years, and this season made their Champions League debut — winning it 4:1 against RB Leipzig. But Como are not satisfied with just the European stage — they are making waves in Serie A too.
After four rounds, Como have 10 points and sit third in the table, behind only Roma and Inter. It is an absolute sensation given the club's history. Wins against Monza, Torino and Frosinone — Como play with confidence, aggression and a clear identity.
Nico Paz — Como's treasure
Argentine midfielder Nico Paz is the heart and brain of Como's play. Developed at Real Madrid and now shining in Italy — precise passing, long-range shooting, dribbling in tight spaces. He is a player that top clubs are already keeping a very close eye on. Douvikas and Diao complete the attacking trio that is terrorising defences across Serie A. How long can Como sustain this form? Nobody knows, but right now it is simply wonderful to watch.
