Former football legend Thierry Henry witnessed his investment in Como come to fruition as the Italian second-tier club secured promotion to Serie A. This momentous occasion took place when Como, led by Henry’s ex-Arsenal teammate Cesc Fabregas, managed to secure a 1-1 draw against Cosenza. This victory allowed them to clinch the second spot in Serie B after a lengthy 21-year absence from the top tier of Italian football.
Como, a club located in a charming lakeside stadium approximately 50 kilometers north of Milan, caught the attention of Henry two years ago when he acquired a stake in the team. With the possibility of replacing Frosinone in Serie A after Frosinone’s defeat to Inter Milan, Como’s promotion signals a new chapter in their football journey. As the season draws to a close, six teams are vying to avoid falling into the relegation zone, with Frosinone currently sitting 16th on the 20-team table, just two points clear of the danger zone.
In a separate match, Serie A champions Inter Milan showcased their dominance by defeating Frosinone 5-0. Davide Frattesi opened the scoring for Inter in the first half, followed by Marko Arnautovic extending the lead to 2-0 after an hour of play. Canadian midfielder Tajon Buchanan registered his first goal for the club to make it 3-0, with Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram sealing the victory with two more goals. Frosinone’s six-game unbeaten streak came to an end with this defeat, placing the team in a precarious position as they fight to avoid relegation.
Thierry Henry’s involvement in Como’s success story is a testament to his passion for the sport and his commitment to developing football at all levels. Como’s promotion to Serie A is a significant milestone for the club, marking their return to the top-flight after a long hiatus. Inter Milan’s dominant performance further underscores their strength as a top team in Italian football, while other teams battle it out to secure their status in the league. As the football season progresses, the excitement and drama continue to unfold, showcasing the allure and unpredictability of the beautiful game.
