  "account": "On Wednesday, Italian club Como delivered a remarkable 9-1 victory against Lens in the Champions League, setting a new record for the highest number of goals scored by a team in a match within Europe's elite club competition. Leading the charge for Como, striker Tasos Douvikas scored a hat-trick and also provided an assist in the emphatic win. Como's coach, Cesc Fabregas, guided the team to three victories in their four league phase games this season. In this special night for Como, Douvikas claimed a hat-trick, making it a memorable moment in Champions League history.\n\nFor reference, Bayern Munich previously set a record with a 9-2 win against Dinamo Zagreb in 2024, while Liverpool and Real Madrid have both achieved 8-0 victories in the group stage of the competition. This 9-1 defeat marks the heaviest loss suffered by a French team in the Champions League.",
