Mega history moment for Como 1907 as they prepare to debut in any sort of European competition for the very first time.
A fourth-place finish in Serie A last season for Como has changed their entire history, and possibly their identity in a positive manner. Cesc Fàbregas’ side will now face a side pretty regular in this competition in recent history, RB Leipzig.
The Larians’ debut will mean much more in Italian football history as well. With this appearance, they will become the 16th Italian club to feature in the UEFA Champions League (formerly the European Cup).
As of now, they stand fourth in the Serie A 2026-27 season’s standings. With an undefeated record, including two wins and a draw, Fabregas’ team have seven points after three league outings.
RB Leipzig do have something to worry about. Their track record against Italian sides in the UCL gives them concern. They have suffered only defeats so far when they went face-to-face against clubs from Italy in the Champions League (3-2 defeat to Juventus and 1-0 to Inter Milan).
Talking about their current league position. In the Bundesliga, we see them standing eighth. Their stunning start against Borussia Mönchengladbach (3-0 win) was brought to a standstill after a 3-1 defeat to SV Werder Bremen. They will now turn their focus to UCL football.
