Italian side Como achieves historic milestone in the UEFA Champions League

Italian club Como, managed by Cesc Fàbregas, secured a remarkable and historic victory against French side Lens during the fourth matchday of the UEFA Champions League league phase. Playing away from home, the Italian team triumphed with a staggering nine goals to one. European football governing bodies noted that this outcome matches the largest winning margin in the history of the Champions League while setting a new record for the biggest away victory in the modern era of the tournament, all achieved during the club's debut campaign. Statistical records also highlight that Como is the first side to net nine goals in an away fixture across European competitions since Feyenoord defeated Olympiacos nine-nil in September 1971. Furthermore, the club stands as only the second team ever to score nine goals in a single Champions League match, following Bayern Munich's 9-2 triumph over Dinamo Zagreb in 2024.
