Como stole the headlines with a historic 4-1 victory over Manchester United, delivering a statement performance that highlighted the growing gap between the two projects.

Beyond the result, the game raised questions about different approaches to squad building, investment and long-term planning, with Como offering a striking example of how a well-structured project can make its mark on the European stage.

Serie A welcomed a change of fortune after a disappointing previous round in the Champions League. Inter, Roma and Napoli all responded with much-needed victories, giving Italian clubs plenty of reasons for optimism and restoring some momentum in the competition.
