From the source
Cesc Fabregas admits the 9-1 win in Lens was ‘a wonderful night for Como, but we need to keep our feet on the ground’ as Champions League ambition starts to genuinely build.
The Lariani had won both their home games 4-1 against RB Leipzig and Manchester United, but lost 3-2 to Feyenoord, so everyone was waiting for their first ever Champions League away victory.
What they did not expect was for this to end 9-1 in Lens, with a Tasos Douvikas hat-trick, Nico Paz, Lucas Da Cunha, Marc-Oliver Kempf, Mattia Liberali, Martin Baturina and teenage debutant Matteo Papaccioli on target.
