Serie A side Como thrashed Lens 9-1 away from home on Matchday 4 of the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League league phase, setting a new record for the largest away margin of victory in Champions League history.
Since the Champions League was reformatted in season 1991/92, Como are the 1st team to score 9 goals away from home. They are also the 1st to score eight, as no team had previously scored even 7 on the road.
The Champions League’s official social media account posted that Como had equaled the largest winning margin in the competition’s history.
Previous Champions League matches won by an eight-goal margin include Liverpool’s 8–0 victory over Beşiktaş (November 6, 2007), Bayern Munich’s 8–0 win over Malmö (September 30, 2015), and Real Madrid’s 8–0 victory over Dinamo Zagreb (December 8, 2011).
Including the European Cup era, Feyenoord were the last team to score 9 goals away from home in the competition, doing so in 1971, 55 years ago.
