Champions League debutants Como thrash Leipzig 4-1
Italian side Como made a statement on their Champions League debut, beating RB Leipzig 4-1 at home in their opening league-phase match.
Como delivered a striking result in their first-ever Champions League appearance, defeating German club RB Leipzig 4-1 at their home ground, Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia.
The match formed part of the competition's opening league-phase round, which replaced the traditional group stage in recent seasons. For Como, this represented a first taste of European football at the Champions League level, and the Italian club made the most of the occasion with a dominant home performance.
RB Leipzig, a side with considerably more experience in the competition, left Italy with a heavy defeat, falling to a newcomer making its continental top-flight debut.
The scoreline points to a strong attacking display from the hosts, while Leipzig will be looking to bounce back in their remaining league-phase fixtures as the competition continues.
