Como suffered their first European defeat in history, losing 3‑2 to Feyenoord in Rotterdam. The match, played on 14 October 2026, was the start of the European competition for the blue and whites, who had never played an away match like this. Despite the commitment and the desire to make a good impression, the result was decidedly negative, with the club having to close the match with a defense that was unable to contain the Dutch club's goals.
Cesc Fàbregas, Como's new coach, was immediately called to speak at the press conference after the match. During the interview, the coach reiterated the importance of not being discouraged by the Champions League, but also underlined that the team must focus on more achievable objectives. “We cannot afford to lose sight of our list of objectives, but we must also be realistic,” Fàbregas said, indicating that the club's management will decide on the next steps.
The result had immediate repercussions on the morale of the players and fans. The club has already announced that the board of directors will evaluate possible changes to the technical group and roster, with the aim of strengthening the team for the upcoming European and national challenges. Meanwhile, Fàbregas asked to keep faith and continue to work hard to recover the position in the competition. Como will now have to review their strategy and prepare for the next matches, with the hope of transforming this defeat into an opportunity for growth.
