Como qualified for the Champions League for the first time in their history on Sunday, the lakeside club being joined by Roma in the top four as giants AC Milan and Juve missed out on an eventful final day marred by fan violence.
Como’s 4-1 win at Cremonese, who drop down to Serie B, and AC Milan falling to a shock 2-1 home defeat to Cagliari was enough for Cesc Fabregas’s side to cap their incredible rise from lower leagues to Europe’s top table.
Como will finish the season fourth, two points behind Roma whose 2-0 win at already-relegated Verona ensured third place and an end to their long absence from the Champions League.
