Como Makes History with Nine-Goal Champions League Rout
The Italian side equaled the record for the largest winning margin in modern Champions League history during a dominant 9-1 victory over Lens.

In a display of pure offensive dominance, Como secured a historic 9-1 victory against Lens at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis on Wednesday. This remarkable performance allowed the Italian club to equal the record for the largest winning margin in the history of the modern UEFA Champions League, leaving the home crowd stunned by the sheer scale of the defeat.
Forward Tasos Douvikas was the standout performer, netting a clinical hat-trick that propelled him to the top of the competition's scoring charts with six goals. His contributions were complemented by a relentless team effort, with Nico Paz, Lucas da Cunha, Marc-Oliver Kempf, Mattia Liberali, Martin Baturina, and Matteo Papaccioli all finding the back of the net throughout the evening.
Under the guidance of manager Cesc Fabregas, Como demonstrated tactical superiority from the opening whistle. By the time the halftime break arrived, the visitors had already established a commanding 3-0 lead. Despite a brief moment of resistance from Lens, who managed a consolation goal through R. Aguilar in the 65th minute, Como remained ruthless, continuing to exploit gaps in the opposition's defense until the final whistle.
This result marks a significant milestone for the club, lifting them to fourth place in the league phase standings. The victory serves as a powerful statement of intent for the remainder of the tournament, as Como continues to build momentum following previous high-profile results against Manchester United and RB Leipzig. The match will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the most lopsided and prolific displays in European football history.
