Fabregas on the result
Fabregas told Sky Sport Italia after full-time: "It’s a special night, but we are still at the beginning for everything we have in our minds."
Fabregas told Sky Sport Italia after full-time: "The team played well this evening, but we need to keep our feet on the ground and remember there is another match coming up on Saturday."
Fabregas replied: "I don’t know about that, it’s a bold statement. We must try to remain humble."
Fabregas replied: "This was Manchester United we were up against tonight, it doesn’t matter if they are struggling at the moment, we must never forget that some of our players were having the third Champions League game of their entire careers."
Fabregas replied: "This is why the belief of these lads and their way of doing things gives me life. Winning this way is very satisfying, but this is where it gets difficult, playing the same way on Saturday in Serie A."
Dedication after the match
Fabregas told Sky Sport Italia after full-time: "I want to dedicate the win to one of our kit staff, he knows why."
Fabregas on his path at Como
When asked if he is already looking beyond the lake for his ambitions, he pointed out this is a unique situation: "I arrived here to end my playing career as a Como player. I had the opportunity to be the coach of their youth side, people say I have carte blanche here, but I had to earn that."
Fabregas said: "I am fortunate to have people who understand football. If we all trust each other, and are like a family, then good things are naturally going to follow. That is important to me."
