The 2026-27 Squad at a Glance
A Fairytale Rise
Como 1907's ascent has been extraordinary. After returning to the Italian top flight in 2024, they finished fourth in Serie A last season with 71 points, overtaking AC Milan on the final day to secure a historic Champions League berth. Under the guidance of Cesc Fabregas, the Lariani play an attractive, possession-based style that has captured imaginations across Europe. The Spanish manager remains adamant that his team will stay true to their principles: "If we lose, we lose. But we don't change our model."
Champions League: A New World
Fabregas has been refreshingly honest about the challenge ahead. "85% of the team has never played Champions League football," he told TNT Sports. "This is a new world, but we take it as an amazing opportunity." The squad depth issue is real: without a youth academy, Como can only register 16-17 players for European competition, making every fixture a test of endurance. Their opening Serie A match at Udinese began a run of three consecutive away games, with the first home match not until September 13 against Parma.
Squad & Summer Moves
The core of the team remains built around Nico Paz, the creative heartbeat at No. 10, and Tasos Douvikas, the Greek striker who provides the cutting edge. Alvaro Morata brings proven Champions League experience, while Maxence Caqueret and Martin Baturina control the midfield. New signings Luis Milla and Kaiki arrived to replace the departed Alberto Moreno and Sergi Roberto, and teenager Mattia Liberali represents the club's commitment to youth development.
