Como defeats RB Leipzig 4-1 in Champions League opener

Como recorded a 4-1 victory over RB Leipzig in their debut Champions League match at Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium on September 10, 2026. Assane Diao contributed the third goal for the home side during the second half. Following the match, former Milan coach Fabio Capello praised Diao’s technical ability, comparing him favorably to Rafael Leao. While Capello lauded the team’s front-foot style of play, he expressed disapproval regarding Cesc Fabregas’ post-match practice of gathering players in a circle on the pitch. Capello characterized the ritual as a public performance rather than a private locker room matter. As the only Italian club to secure a win in the opening round of the competition, Como shifts focus to their upcoming Serie A fixture against Parma scheduled for next Monday.
