Como set a new Champions League record with a shocking 9-1 victory over Lens on Wednesday, matching the eight-goal wins by Liverpool and Real Madrid in previous seasons. The Italian team also became the first side since 1971 to score nine goals away in European competition and the second to achieve that feat in a single match, following Bayern Munich.
Como's impressive 4-1 wins against RB Leipzig and Manchester United solidified their remarkable debut, which has already yielded 19 goals in four matches, equaling a historic QPR record. Lens, currently 33rd in the standings with just three points, endured the most devastating Champions League defeat by a French club, marking the first time a team from Europe's top five leagues has been humiliated by conceding nine goals at home in European competition.
