Como sporting director Carlalberto Ludi has addressed the growing speculation regarding Real Madrid's potential moves to trigger buy-back clauses for Nico Paz and Jacobo Ramon. The two former La Fabrica starlets have become central figures for the Italian side, sparking fears among the Como faithful that a return to the Santiago Bernabeu could be on the horizon.
Cesc Fabregas has warned his Como side not to let their historic 9-1 Champions League victory over Lens go to their heads. The head coach insisted that while the record-breaking night was unforgettable, his players must quickly refocus for their upcoming Serie A clash against Inter.
Como captain Lucas Da Cunha described their 9-1 away victory against RC Lens as a "crazy result" while insisting his team-mates must remain grounded. The midfielder led by example on the pitch, scoring his side's fourth goal in a historic European night.
RC Lens defender Ruben Aguilar admitted the squad felt "shocked, saddened, and downbeat" after shipping nine goals against Como. Despite netting his side's solitary goal, the Frenchman conceded their tactical game plan was torn apart on a agonizing night at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis.
The road to Madrid has begun with the league phase having reached its midway point - but which teams are currently looking in the best shape to go on and lift the European Cup?
Como starlet Nico Paz produced one of the most touching moments of the Champions League season during his side’s emphatic victory over Lens. The Spanish-Argentine midfielder used the elite European stage to honour the memory of Jesus de Miguel, who recently passed away following an on-pitch tragedy.
