Como hit nine in stunning Champions League win at Lens
Greek international striker Anastasios Douvikas scored a hattrick as the Serie A side claimed their third win in four games in this season's league phase.
Como claimed the record for the biggest winning margin in modern Champions League history with a 9-1 victory against Lens in France on Wednesday. The Italian side, managed by Cesc Fabregas, equaled the record previously set by Bayern Munich in 2024. Greek striker Anastasios Douvikas scored a hat-trick, while Nico Paz added three goals, and Lucas Da Cunha and Marco-Oliver Kempf also found the net.
This win marked Como's third victory in four games this season. Only Liverpool and Real Madrid achieved a similar scoreline in the competition's history. Last season, Como finished fourth in Serie A and secured their first-ever Champions League appearance. Following this defeat, Lens suffered their third consecutive loss in the Champions League and their record loss for a French club.
