Following Como's 4-1 victory over RB Leipzig in their first Champions League group stage match, Italian legend Alessandro Del Piero discussed the team on CBS Sports.

Del Piero: Hello everyone, nice to meet you. Everything tonight was very special. The result was special too. Como made history by competing in European competition for the first time. The atmosphere in the stadium, the passion of the fans, and the kindness of everyone here – many wonderful things happened for Como tonight. We are truly happy. As you know, I'm representing Italy, so it's especially gratifying (laughs). Italy had four teams in the competition, and so far Como is the only one with a victory, so let's support Como.

Considering Como's continued development, what impressed you most?

Honestly, there are several aspects. First, their organization is excellent, and they consistently demonstrate it. They maintained very high energy for 60 minutes. I don't want to say they "dominated" the match… but basically, they did. They controlled the game while showing a very strong character.

Of course, the question everyone in Italy is asking now is how they will sustain this throughout the season. Because it will be a rhythm of Sunday, Wednesday, Sunday, Wednesday.

But right now, everyone from Fabregas to the players is very happy. There's excellent harmony between the ownership, coaching staff, and players, and everything looks perfect at the moment. At least for now, I haven't seen any obvious weaknesses.

Yes, as you said, there's excellent synergy from the club management to the players. We also mentioned Nico Paz earlier. Expectations are high for him, and people wanted to see if he could perform at the highest level of European competition – and he delivered. He showed his ability and proved why he was able to play for Real Madrid previously. It seems like he will be a very important player for Como if they advance to the next stage of this competition.

Of course, many eyes will be on him. But it's not just him. There are other players worth watching too. Baturina was the man of the match tonight and won the award. And we interviewed many of these players, and they all gave a similar impression. How should I put it – everyone is very calm.

They know they need to keep working hard, they know they're doing well right now, but they also know it's not over yet. It's just the beginning. So let's see if this fairy tale can continue (laughs). As you just said, everyone here is in perfect harmony. It's a small place, but everyone is very kind. Right now everything feels like a dream.

They just weren't as kind to their opponents. RB Leipzig experienced that tonight (laughs).

Of course (laughs).

Anita, today is clearly a historic day for Como. Could you describe what it was like here from the perspective of the fans and the atmosphere? How did you feel?

Anita: The atmosphere was incredible. As Del Piero just said, you could feel that connection at every level. There was a story that received a lot of attention before the match – it was about owner Mirwan and his management team. They gave up their seats to some older fans.

I actually spoke with Mirwan before the match and asked him why he did that. He gave a very philosophical explanation. Basically, what he meant was: "We are merely custodians of this club. We know this club belonged to the people who were here long before we arrived. They deserve to witness this historic day firsthand."

So he himself sat in a very ordinary seat in the main stand. It's truly rare to see fans in their 70s, 80s, and even 90s come here and experience these moments firsthand. Every time the team scores, they immediately jump out of their seats.

These days, I sometimes feel the connection between supporters and club management has been lost. When clubs consider various factors, fans sometimes end up as the lowest priority. But today is a good example. It reminds us why we love football so much. The true heart of football is the fans.

Very well said, Anita. It's been a perfect night for Como. We're glad you both were there. I also noticed you both arrived in style (laughs). Del Piero, we saw you at the stadium too. Wonderful. We'll see you again soon, and thank you both so much.

Del Piero: Thank you.

Anita: Thank you, take care. Goodbye.
