A shocking result in the Champions League. Demolition and "sense of humiliation"

Records in the Champions League

Como's victory over the French runner-up equals the record goal difference in the Champions League (eight goals). This was previously achieved by Liverpool (8-0 against Besiktas in 2007) and Real Madrid (8-0 against Malmo in 2015).

Bayern Munich also scored nine goals in one match, winning 9-2 against Dinamo Zagreb in 2024. In addition, Como became the first team since 1971 to score nine goals in an away match in European competitions.

Fabregas: We have to remain humble

The coach of the Italian team, Cesc Fabregas, said after the match that his players must not give in to emotions so that the great results so far in their debut season in the Champions League do not go to their heads.

It was a great evening for Como, but we have to keep our feet on the ground, stay humble and keep working hard," the Spaniard stressed. He then added that the team must learn to think: "OK, it was a good day, but we have to move on."

Lens coach Yannick Cahuzac was in a different mood. The only thing I can think of is the feeling of humiliation. We dominated in every aspect of the game. It's hard to explain, he said.

In the first half, Polish representative Michał Skóraś played for the hosts.

"Generation talent"

The Italian media writes about Como's amazing performance, including "La Gazzetta dello Sport", which wrote: "Como, you are so beautiful."

The foreign press also appreciates the progress of the Italian team. Thierry Henry, an outstanding French footballer, world champion in 1998, European champion in 2000 and winner of the Champions League with FC Barcelona in the 2008/2009 season, who is currently an expert for the British station CBS Sports Golazo, in the studio after the match could not praise the team led by the former star of the Spanish national team.
