Como Makes Strong Impression in Champions League Debut with Remarkable 8-1 Victory
Como has made a stunning debut in the Champions League this season, showcasing their talent with an impressive performance. Currently, the team has accumulated nine points from four matches, placing them fourth in the standings behind Arsenal, Real Madrid, and PSG.
In an extraordinary showing tonight against RC Lens, Como dominated the match, leading 8-1. Throughout this league phase, the Italian side has netted an astounding 18 goals, with only PSG scoring more, totaling 20 goals this Champions League season.
The highlight of the match came when Como striker Anastasios Douvikas scored three times, positioning him at the top of the Champions League scoring charts with six goals in four games, surpassing notable players like Kane and Haaland. Additionally, Marc Oliver Kempf, a former Bundesliga player with experience at Frankfurt, Freiburg, Stuttgart, and Hertha, contributed to the scoreline, while teammates Paz, Da Cunha, and Liberali also found the net.
Despite the lopsided score, RC Lens managed to secure a consolation goal through Ruben Aguilar. However, substitute Martin Baturina quickly added another for Como, pushing the score to 8-1.
To claim the title for the biggest Champions League victory ever, Como would need to score more, as the current record is held jointly by Liverpool and Real Madrid, both having won 8-0 in previous matches.
