Como 1907’s Wild Champions League Debut | MLS News

Como 1907, once a Serie D club, stunned the world by qualifying for and crushing RB Leipzig 4-1 in their Champions League debut — a six-year Cinderella rise fueled by Indonesian billionaire owners who almost turned it into a reality show. With barely four months to renovate their non-compliant stadium on Lake Como, they pulled off a miracle, adding security, media zones, and rebuilding the stands — all with a week to spare. Manager Cesc Fàbregas called it historic, while fans — including a 90-year-old who arranged his wife’s care just to attend — packed the stands, proving this isn’t just about soccer. President Mirwan Surwaso is building the club like a Disney brand: custom jerseys, branded beer, and a future community hub — even giving up VIP seats for loyal supporters. This isn’t just a team; it’s a movement rewriting Italian football’s story. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
