Tasos Douvikas made a strong mark in Dutch football and was Eredivisie top scorer for Utrecht, but now hopes to give Como a Champions League success against Feyenoord.
It kicks off at the De Kuip Stadion in Rotterdam at 17.45 UK time (18.45 CEST).
Douvikas was top scorer of the Eredivisie with Utrecht in 2022-23, netting 19 times in 32 games, but has never scored against Feyenoord.
Douvikas and Como making history
“I am very happy to be back in the Netherlands, I have very nice memories from the past with Utrecht, two very nice seasons here,” Douvikas told Sky Sport Italia.
There are over 1,000 Como fans who have made this historic trip to Rotterdam, as it is the first ever away fixture for the club in a UEFA tournament.
“We’re very happy that our fans are here, we feel their support, and today we will do everything to make them happy with three points.”
Douvikas scored on his Champions League debut in the 4-1 victory over RB Leipzig, but is not in the starting XI this evening, as instead Nico Paz is used in a False 9 role, with Moise Kean out injured.
“The Champions League is something special, we are all very excited to be part of this year’s tournament. We started with a win, which we all wanted, but this is another challenge and we have to be ready.”
