# Como 1907 wins Champions League debut 4-1 > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/como-1907-stadium-uefa-champions-league-approval > Updated: 2026-09-10T22:25:51.000Z. Sources: 109. Developments: 4. Como 1907 successfully completed its historic UEFA Champions League debut, securing a 4-1 victory against RB Leipzig at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. The match marked a significant milestone for the club following its rapid ascent through the Italian football tiers. Led by manager Cesc Fàbregas, who transitioned from player to coach at the club in 2023, the Italian side demonstrated a dominant performance. Fàbregas has overseen the club’s rise from lower tiers to a fourth-place finish in the 2025-2026 Serie A season, which earned them qualification for Europe’s premier competition. This growth has been supported by substantial investment from the Indonesian-owned Hartono family. Martin Baturina scored the club’s first-ever goal in the competition in the 15th minute, with additional goals provided by Tasos Douvikas, Assane Diao, and Máximo Perrone. Following the match, RB Leipzig captain David Raum described the performance as a “real thrashing,” while Fàbregas expressed satisfaction with his team’s maturity despite the high level of competition. Analysts and former players, including Alessandro Del Piero, have praised the team's performance and Fàbregas's tactical approach, with some comparing his style to legendary managers such as Sacchi or Guardiola. The victory places Como among the teams that earned three points in the opening matchday of the league phase. To manage high ticket demand, Como president Mirwan Suwarso and other executives relinquished VIP seats to allow elderly supporters to attend. Looking ahead, Fàbregas highlighted the difficulty of the club's upcoming fixture against Parma. ## Claims - Cesc Fabregas is the manager of Como.
