For the first time in its history, Como is set to play a UEFA Champions League match this Thursday at 19:00 GMT, making its debut on the biggest European stage.

Guided by Cesc Fàbregas, the Italian team approaches this opening group stage match with the enthusiasm of an underdog that has impressed in Serie A with its attacking play and solid defense.
In contrast, RB Leipzig arrives with solid experience on the European stage.

With its 8th participation in the Champions League, the German club aims to impose its rhythm and high pressing. Despite some recent errors in the league and the absence of several key players, including Christoph Baumgartner, the team led by Christopher Nkunku and Willi Orban still possesses formidable attacking options.

This matchup promises a captivating tactical battle at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. Between the Italian fervor supported by playmakers like Nico Paz and the efficiency of the German organization, this European return match looks uncertain.

Como will seek to make a strong impression in front of its home crowd, while Leipzig aims for a crucial victory to kick off its continental campaign on the right foot.
