Cesc Fabregas has urged Como fans to transform the Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium into a 'little Bombonera' for Tuesday's Coppa Italia semifinal first leg against Inter Milan. The former Arsenal midfielder wants home supporters to create an intimidating atmosphere comparable to Boca Juniors' famous stadium in Buenos Aires.

Como face the Serie A leaders in what Fabregas calls a 'big moment of the season.' Inter Milan sit 10 points clear at the top of the table after bouncing back from their Champions League exit with a 2-0 win over Genoa. The Nerazzurri are still without captain Lautaro Martínez due to a calf injury, though Alessandro Bastoni returns from suspension.

Como are riding high in fifth place in Serie A, just three points behind fourth-placed Roma and a Champions League qualifying spot. They secured a 3-1 home win against Lecce on Saturday, with Assane Diao returning from a long injury layoff. Fabregas emphasized taking 'one game at a time' as his team aims to upset the league leaders in front of their energized home crowd.
