Italian club Como defeat French side Lens 9-1 on match day four in the UEFA Champions League. Anastasios Douvikas scores a hat-trick as the team produces a record-equalling away rout.
Multiple outlets describe the match as historical, highlighting that Como equal the Champions League record for the biggest margin of victory. BBC Sport and others focus on the away nature of the win, noting it as the biggest away win in Champions League history, while The Athletic and Vanguard also emphasise how the scoreline matches long-standing record benchmarks.
Other coverage frames the result slightly differently: The Mirror links Como’s performance to broader European context, suggesting it supports the idea that another recent big thrashing was not a one-off. Across all reports, the scoring pattern and headline figures—9-1 and Douvikas’ hat-trick—are consistent.
