Como 4-1 Manchester United Player Ratings: Nico Paz the Star of the Night as the Argentine Inspires Another Classy Display Against a Crestfallen Red Devils Side

UCL debutants Como impressed in their third outing of the new UEFA Champions League season as they faced Michael Carrick's Manchester United at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia.

Both teams came off defeats in their previous league-phase matches, eyeing another important three points to avoid an extra round of fixtures and reach the Round of 16.

Como 1907 were by far the best team in the first half, where they utterly dominated the Red Devils in every phase of the game. They suffocated United with their high-intensity press, leading them to commit silly mistakes in the midfield.

One such mistake was punished quite early on in the game, as Nico Paz curled one in at the left top corner of the net from the edge of the box to give I Lariani the lead in just the 3rd minute. Manchester United looked helpless, as they failed to register even a shot on target in the first 45 minutes.

Carrick's men did show some courage in the second half, but Cesc Fabregas and co. were the more clinical ones. Paz set up Anastasios Douvikas with a lovely incisive pass on the counter, which the forward smashed home with relative ease.

The Argentine picked Carlos Baleba's pocket to run all alone and finish past Senne Lammens to make it three, showcasing why he is such a top talent who is being chased by multiple big clubs.

Jacobo Ramón joined the party to head one in from a Kaiki assist to finish it off for Como on a high.

Although Joshua Zirkzee found the back of the net for Manchester United very late in the game, the damage was already done.
