Como Qualifies for Champions League Group Stage for First Time

The result raises fixture and squad demands and has prompted immediate transfer planning that includes talks over Nico Paz with Real Madrid.

Overview

  • Como secured a place in the UEFA Champions League group stage for the first time in the club’s history after a season-long rise under coach Cesc Fabregas.
  • The final-day 4-1 win at Cremonese clinched fourth place for Como and the outcome was sealed when AC Milan failed to win their match.
  • Fabregas credited the achievement to a tight, family-like squad, said he has received wide congratulations from prominent figures, and insisted the team can still improve.
  • The club has already opened internal transfer discussions to prepare for a heavier schedule, and Fabregas said Nico Paz’s future will be discussed with Real Madrid and handled by the relevant agents.
  • Key players signalled a desire for continuity—Jacobo Ramon said he expects to stay—and the club faces concrete operational challenges next season that include adding depth and accelerating squad work.
