Como score nine in biggest away win in Champions League history

Como achieved a historic 9-1 away victory over Lens in a Champions League group stage match, marking the biggest away win in the competition's history, BBC Sport reported.

Anastasios Douvikas led the scoring with a hat-trick, while teammates Nico Paz, Lucas Da Cunha, Marc-Oliver Kempf, Mattia Liberali, Martin Baturina, and Matteo Papaccioli also contributed goals, according to Yahoo Sports.

This win equaled the record for the largest winning margin in the modern Champions League era, with only two previous teams having won by eight goals since 1992, as noted by Yahoo Sports.

Como's performance was notable for being only the second time a team scored nine goals in a Champions League match, with the last occurrence being Bayern Munich's 9-2 win over Dinamo Zagreb in 2024, Yahoo Sports added.

The match took place at Stade Bollaert-Delelis in northern France, where Como dominated especially in the second half, extending their lead significantly after halftime, according to Yahoo Sports.

Como's coach, Cesc Fabregas, has guided the team to three wins in four group stage matches during their maiden Champions League campaign, per Yahoo Sports.

This record-setting victory highlights Como's strong start in European football's top tier and sets a high benchmark for away performances in the competition.
