Como beat Lens 9–1 away on Wednesday, 4 November, equalling the biggest winning margin in UEFA Champions League history during their first campaign in the competition.
UEFA’s record of the competition’s biggest victories places the eight-goal margin alongside Liverpool’s 8–0 win over Beşiktaş in 2007 and Real Madrid’s 8–0 defeat of Malmö in 2015.
Tasos Douvikas scored a hat-trick. Como also set the competition’s biggest away-win record. The distinction concerns the margin of victory: Bayern München previously scored nine against GNK Dinamo in a 9–2 win in 2024.
Liverpool lose after leading twice
Elsewhere in UEFA’s Wednesday roundup, Fenerbahçe beat Liverpool 3–2. Vedat Muriqi headed the winner after Liverpool twice led, ending the English club’s perfect start to the league phase.
City and Arsenal win away
Manchester City won 3–2 at Leipzig, with Erling Haaland supplying the late winner. Leipzig had equalised twice before City’s decisive goal.
Arsenal beat Slavia Praha 2–1. Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyökeres scored before half-time; Wiktor Nowak replied in the 90th minute, leaving the visitors with their third win.
