Champions League: Como clobber Lens 9-1 after Real Madrid roar back to deny AEK Athens

Anastasios Douvikas led the rout with a hat-trick as Como cruised to a 9-1 victory at Lens, equalling the record for the most goals scored in a single Champions League game.

Only two teams had previously won a game by a margin of eight goals since the launch of the modern Champions League in 1992. Liverpool thumped Besiktas 8-0 in the group stage in 2007 and Real Madrid won by the same scoreline against Malmo in 2015.

Como are just the second team to score nine times in a game in the competition, after Bayern Munich beat Dinamo Zagreb 9-2 in the league phase in 2024.
