Como have their first win over Juventus in Serie A since 1952. |
When the 2025/26 season kicked off, few thought that Como - a modest team with a squad valued at just 285 million euros - could make the "Old Lady" Juventus (601.7 million euros) submit. But Cesc Fabregas, with his sharp football philosophy and fearless spirit, has instilled in his students the belief that anything is possible.
In front of over 13,600 spectators at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium, Como started the game with confidence. They did not push forward blindly, but pressed intelligently in midfield, making the most of the mobility of their young midfielders. Juventus had more possession (55%), but that was a meaningless statistic on an evening when Como played as if they were playing for history.
The brightest star of that great victory was Nico Paz - the young Argentinian player who is making the whole of Europe talk about him. He sealed the victory with a cool finish in the 79th minute after an exemplary counter-attack. Before that, Nico Paz caused chaos in the Juventus defense with a delicate assist for his teammate to open the score.
Two goals, the perfect script. But more importantly, Como did not shrink back after taking the lead. They attacked with the ease of a team that knows what they want.
Statistics show that Como launched 12 shots, of which 6 were on target - an astonishing efficiency compared to Juventus (15 shots, only 3 on target). Each of Como's counter-attacks was potentially damaging, led by Paz - who is like a young conductor who is gradually writing his own symphony in Serie A.

Juventus' expensive stars fell to Como. |
When the final whistle blew, the Sinigaglia stadium exploded. Cesc Fabregas - from a football legend to a young coach - hugged his colleagues. In the rankings, Como rose to 4th place with 12 points, equal with Juventus but surpassed by a better goal difference. It was not only a victory in terms of points, but also a declaration that Fabregas' Como was no longer a "bottom".
Fabregas once said: “I want to build a team that plays with intelligence, not just strength.” On the evening of October 19, Como realized that philosophy – with discipline, desire and legs that dare to dream.
From a small team on the shores of Lake Como, Fabregas and his team are continuing their fairy tale in the heart of Serie A - where faith, intelligence and passion can defeat even proud giants like Juventus.
