🗞️ Today's front pages: Real's comeback, no Rodri and Lens humiliation
Another round of Champions League action has come to an end, bringing big wins, comebacks, joy, disappointment... but that’s not all that’s happened over the past few hours. So let’s take a look...
Como experienced a record-breaking night in the Champions League, as they defeated Lens with a staggering 9-1 score. This win, achieved on September 1st, holds the record for the most goals scored away from home in a single match. This event has left a lasting impact on the history of the competition, inspiring archivists and statistics enthusiasts alike.
The 9-1 victory marked a historic night for Como, as they became the only team in the Champions League (since 1992) to win by such a wide margin. Liverpool and Real Madrid also achieved eight-goal wins against Besiktas and Malmo, respectively, during this memorable night.
Interestingly, Como made history as the first Italian club to score at least seven away goals in the European Cup. Additionally, the team became the second French team to concede nine goals in a European competition, following the 1961 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup match between Strasbourg and MTK Budapest. Como also holds the record for the second time in their history to concede nine goals.
