WATCH THE CLIP

"First of all, congratulations, you truly had a season of champions," Fabregas started."I know that today we didn't finish in the way that we perhaps wanted, by winning. Tomorrow training at 10."But one thing I have to say before we go out there with all our fans, thank you, but be strong, because this year is nothing. This is only the warm-up. Next year: more efficiency, more work. And like how I promised and you guys wanted...Do you want to go to Ibiza?"

WHAT FABREGAS SAID 

Como's journey to Serie A has been nothing short of remarkable. Promoted from Serie D in 2019, the club transitioned to a professional setup that same year and went on to clinch the Serie C title in 2021. After two seasons of consolidation in Serie B, including a respectable 13th-place finish in 2023, Como culminated their remarkable rise with a spectacular promotion to the top flight in 2024.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The promotion of Como serves as an inspiration to footballing underdogs worldwide, highlighting the transformative power of perseverance, strategic investments, and a collective vision. This achievement marks the end of a two-decade-long absence from the top tier for Como, with Parma already sealing promotion as the league leaders.
