Como were the only Serie A club to win in the Champions League Round 1 midweek, securing a victory in their first-ever game in the competition.

Despite this remarkable feat, Como continue to attract criticism, as some fans and pundits, especially in Italy, believe their project doesn’t entirely belong in Serie A or Italian football because it lacks Italian players.

Lorenzo and Giancarlo also examine some names that Mancini is likely to include in his Italy squad for the upcoming international break.

Several Italian sources reported that Nicolò Tresoldi is unlikely to be part of the squad, as he’s asked for more time to decide whether to represent Germany or Italy at a senior level.
