🇮🇹🥹 95 years old. A lifetime devoted to Como. And finally, the Champions League.
Meet Ernesto Bianchi, a man who embodies the true spirit of football devotion. His connection with the club began in 1945 as a young boy, watching players pass through his hometown of Torno before Sunday matches. From standing in the Curva to watching from the main stand, he never missed a moment—until pandemic restrictions and caring for his wife, Paola, kept him away.
For Como's historic Champions League debut, the club brought Ernesto back as an honored guest in the Executive Box to witness the dream firsthand. 🎫🏟️
Some loyalties last a lifetime. 💙

🚨❤️🩹 Paolo Maldini: "Ciao Franco, Today I feel the same feeling when, for whatever reason, you couldn't go on the field next to us: what will we do without our Captain?"
"You taught me to fight until my last breath, what does sticking to the shirt mean and the value of being a true leader. You did it by example, every day: few words, but lots of facts."
"You protected me as a child, guided me as a boy and inspired me as a man. You were the strongest football player I have ever had the honor to play with."
"A loving hug to your whole family, especially to your wife and your children. We'll miss you, Captain. But the light of your star will continue to shine on us forever."
