There are again some big celebrity names in the stands for Como vs. Roma, but while Keira Knightley, Michael Fassbender and Adrian Brody are just watching, Dele Alli might be scouting his next club.
The Stadio Sinigaglia regularly sees visiting Hollywood types attending matches since their promotion to Serie A over the summer.
This is partly because of the links between this club’s owners and the entertainment industry, but also as Como is a popular destination for actors seeking a break in some beautiful scenery.
Knightley, Fassbender and Brody were all gathered in the stands this evening for the match against Roma.

The football-based media was rather more intrigued by the presence of another VIP attending on special invite of Como, namely Dele Alli.
The 28-year-old creative midfielder has been a free agent since his contract with Everton expired over the summer.
Previously representing Tottenham, MK Dons and Besiktas, he has 194 Premier League appearances under his belt and has been linked with a potential move to Como, working with coach Cesc Fabregas.
