Cesc Fabregas’ Como 1907 didn’t just win at the Arena Garibaldi last night—they staged a hostile takeover. In a performance dripping with the kind of A-list glamour usually reserved for the red carpets of Lake Como, the visitors dismantled Pisa 3-0 to prove they are no longer just a “project,” but a powerhouse.
While the locals were hoping for a leaning tower of strength, they got a total collapse as Como’s galaxy of superstars turned the Serie A encounter into a personal playground.
The masterclass began with the man of the moment, Nico Paz. The Real Madrid starlet, who has the vision of a hawk and the feet of a ballet dancer, pulled the strings from the first whistle. He didn’t just play the game; he choreographed it.
The breakthrough came via a clinical finish from Patrick Cutrone, who continues to look like the predator that once terrorized Premier League defenses. But the real story was the silk and steel in the middle.
With minority owner Thierry Henry watching on with a grin that could be seen from space, Como’s superstars played with a swagger that screamed “Champions League” in a “Serie A” stadium.
Sergi Roberto, a man who has won everything there is to win at Barcelona, looked like he was playing in his back garden.
He dictated the tempo, making the Pisa midfield look like they were running through treacle.
The second half was a procession. Alieu Fadera doubled the lead with a strike that silenced the home crowd, before a late third put the cherry on top of a very expensive, very delicious Italian cake.
Under the watchful eye of Fabregas—who spent the night prowling the touchline in a sharp suit that cost more than the Pisa starting XI—Como proved they have the substance to match the style.
The message to the rest of Italy is loud and clear: The stars have aligned at the Lake, and they aren’t planning on coming down anytime soon.
