Como beat Manchester United 4-1, on Wednesday, in the rain, on matchday three of the Champions League league phase. A result. Not an elimination. Dump Clarín.

Nico Paz, 1-0 after two minutes, a left-foot shot. The assist for Douvikas, 2-0. Then 3-0, Paz again, after an interception. Jacobo Ramón, a header, 4-0, Kaiki Bruno’s cross. Zirkzee, 4-1, in added time. BBC: 2', 49', 57', 76', 90+1. Five goals. One score. Do not mix them with the Youth League, 2-1 the same day.

United: three points from nine. Carrick, the coach. Como, Cesc Fàbregas. ESPN: Como, six points after three rounds. The dump kept United at 3 from 9. Two counts. Stay with Clarín for United. The league phase is not knockout. Nobody is out.

Clarín ties Paz to Messi’s number 10. That is the correspondent’s comparison. It is not a call-up. 22 years old, born in Spain, son of Pablo Paz. That is biography. It is not the goal.

Sinigaglia. Rain. It is not a sacking. Carrick stays, until a statement. BBC wrote that the job is in jeopardy. That is a reading. It is not the club’s communiqué.

Dump Clarín. The rewrite rests on Clarín and BBC Sport.
