Cesc Fàbregas and Nico Paz fire Como past Man United 4-1

Como, with Cesc Fàbregas in the dugout, hammered Manchester United 4-1 on Wednesday at the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium. The result adds pressure on the English side, which has gone seven matches without a win in all competitions for the first time since 2015.

At the heart of Como’s performance was Nico Paz, signed from Real Madrid in 2024. He scored two goals and set up another. Paz’s run in Europe now stands at nine goal involvements in eight appearances—four goals and five assists. After the match, he said: “It was a historic night… to do this at home is incredible, we are very happy for our performance.”

Como’s rise from the amateur ranks continues to turn heads. A club staff member summed up the moment: “It’s Manchester United. We are only just getting our heads around the fact we are playing Inter, Milan and Juventus.” And Fabregas framed the project’s ambition: “We are a family here… we need to be humble and remember who we were because the story of Como will be beautiful.”
