Who would have thought but on the night when Manchester United lifted their curse at Anfield, another team were breaking their 75years winless drought against one of the giants in Europe.
With Arsène Wenger, Thierry Henry and Raphaël Varane in attendance, former Arsenal, Fc Barcelona and Chelsea Fc player Cesc Fàbregas did not disappoint.
Como 1907 after their qualification to top flight have started their own campaign which is to ensure retention in the league proper and they have been giving good accounts of their actions on the field.
Juventus who remain one of the giants in Italy got their share of what Como 1907 was bringing on board their heads have started to rattle.
Since 1950, Como 1907 has not won any game against Juventus but Cesc Fàbregas has rewritten the records of Como history.
The Stadio G. Sinigaglia was electrified from the get go as fans hoped for a miracle against Jeventus.
The cheers and motivation from the fans did not go to waste as Como 1907 took an early lead in the 4’. Marc Kempf who scored against Fiorentina was there to tap the opener in.
Juventus made a couple of runs and tried to get an equaliser but Como remained resilient throughout. Alvaro Morata had couple of chances to put Como two goals up but his efforts were all met by brilliant saves from Gregorio.
Nico Paz who remains the rising star of the Como 1907 side was not only brilliant on the day but continued to torment the Juventus defence with his speed.
In the 79’, Paz finally had his chance after running almost half the park to curl one into the net to give Como a two goals lead.
Como 1907 had not just beaten Juventus, they were making a statement to the other teams in the Serie A. The 75-years-old wait was finally over and it was due to the tactical intelligence of no other than Cesc Fàbregas.
