"Hoy, nuestro vecindario estaba cerrado. Había equipos SWAT por todas partes, francotiradores tirados en la nieve y todo el lugar estaba completamente en silencio. Entonces, de la nada, nuestro gato Héctor entra casualmente. Curioso por absolutamente todo, Héctor salta directamente sobre la espalda de un francotirador, tratando de descubrir qué está pasando. Honestamente no puedo decir si es increíblemente valiente... o si simplemente no le importan nada"

If Villa released a claret and blue bin liner for our new home kit I’d give it a 10/10. Champions league, Kamara back and Unai with some money to spend. I think it will look great in the SUPER CUP. Cheer up lads #UTV

Michael Essien’s wife, 𝐀𝐤𝐨𝐬𝐮𝐚 𝐏𝐮𝐧𝐢 𝐄𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐧, will forever have a place in Como 1907’s modern story. In 2017, she bought the struggling Italian club at auction when they were battling financial problems and facing an uncertain future. Her move helped keep Como alive before a bigger rebuild followed. That moment also strengthened Como’s connection with 🇬🇭 Ghana. The relationship grew over the years, and some of the club’s players even visited Ghana last year to connect with the country, experience its football culture and build ties beyond Italy. Years later, the Indonesian Djarum Group took over and gave Como fresh structure and investment. Cesc Fabregas also became part of the project, first as a player and minority shareholder before becoming head coach. Under Fabregas, Como have now made history by qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in the club’s history.
