Del Piero was full of praise for the players, staff and ownership group at Como, highlighting their organisation and energy on the pitch. "They're super well organised, they show that organisation all the time," he said in a post-match debrief with CBS Sports. The Italian legend also praised the team's ability to control the game, saying they have "great energy for 60 minutes" and "a lot of great personality".
Del Piero's comments come as Como made history by becoming the first Italian side to win their Champions League debut, with Cesc Fabregas's side impressing with a 4-1 victory over RB Leipzig. The team's historic fourth-place finish in Serie A last term has set them up for a strong continental campaign, and Del Piero believes they have the potential to do well in the competition. "They don't show any weak points at the moment," he said.
Del Piero also praised the fans, saying "This was such an example of why we love football. The heart of it are the fans." The Como board's decision to give up their seats to supporters for the first Champions League game in the team's history was a notable moment, and Del Piero believes it shows the team's commitment to their fans.
