Fabregas speaks candidly after Como's 9-1 thrashing of their opponent in the UEFA Champions League.
“Fabregas” thrilled!!! “Como” storms past “Lens” 9-1 to make history in the UCL.
Cesc Fabregas, the talented coach of Como, praised his team after they collectively delivered a stunning 9-1 away victory over Lens in the 2026-27 UEFA Champions League league phase last night.
Fabregas said, "I am very happy. This is football, and everything went as we wanted. The players performed really well."
"It was a wonderful night for Como, for all our fans, and for many players just starting their professional careers. But they must remain humble, keep learning, and not assume everything will always go smoothly. They need to keep working hard to maintain this level of performance."
"Seeing that our last two games are against Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona, I think we need to earn as many points as possible in the early matches. Nothing is impossible, but those two teams are on a different level than the others."
Como became only the second team in UEFA Champions League history to score 9 goals in a single game. The last time this happened was in 1971 when Feyenoord defeated Olympiakos Nicosia 9-0.
Additionally, Como set a record as the first away team to score 9 goals in a UEFA Champions League match.
