Como surprises: Italy dominates the Champions League with four wins

Como turned a difficult start into one of the biggest surprises of the Champions League, while the other three Italian sides erased the defeats of the previous round. After the nightmare second matchday, Inter, Napoli, Roma and Como have recorded four wins out of four, delivering a confidence boost to Italian football.

Serie A, after a second matchday marked by defeats, has returned to the centre of the stage in the Champions League. The four Italian teams responded with a decisive performance, showing character and attacking ability.

Inter set the tempo against Shakhtar Donetsk, maintaining solidity even after Bastoni's dismissal. Napoli, Roma and Como each scored four goals, delivering a true Italian poker that reignites confidence.

Como among the Champions surprises

Como, with six points, sits in ninth place in the overall standings and confirms itself as the best of the Italian sides. Bookmakers have raised the odds, placing it at 70.00 for the final victory, a sign of growing consideration.

The odds for the other Italian sides show Napoli at 100.00, Roma at 50.00 and Inter at 40.00, the latter the most favourable among the national teams. Beyond the results, the entire Italian delegation has shown character, confirming a strong response in the competition.

Odds and prospects for the future

The absolute favourites remain Barcelona and Paris Saint‑Germain at 4.50, followed by Bayern Munich and Arsenal at 7.00, Real Madrid at 9.00 and Manchester City at 12.00. Inter, at 40.00, remains the Italian side with the highest rating, but the upcoming matchdays could overturn the balances.

After three matchdays, the standings show Como on six points, Roma on four, while Inter and Napoli each have three points. The road is still long, but the evening has restored momentum and prominence to Italian football in the Champions League.
