As Como played their final home game of the season, they were already assured of qualification for a European competition. As a result, club personnel formed a guard of honour prior to the match.
“I want everyone to enjoy this journey; otherwise, what’s the point? Everyone needs to appreciate everything we’re accomplishing,” Fabregas emphasized.
“This has been the most significant and special season in our club’s history, and we’re achieving this as a collective.”
While Como has been one of the highest spenders in Serie A over the past two years, Fabregas maintained that their success stems from more than just financial investments.

“There has been plenty of discussion surrounding our expenditures, but if you want, I can show you the locations of the 15 players with the most appearances this season prior to two years ago, detailing how much we paid for them and their current earnings,” he stated.
“Ultimately, our salary cap is less than that of the teams ahead of us. I’ve experienced a long journey in football, had many special moments, and now we need to savor every moment until the very end.”
Como’s season finale is scheduled for next week against Cremonese.
