According to UEFA, the result matched Liverpool’s 8-0 win over Beşiktaş in 2007 and Real Madrid’s 8-0 victory against Malmö in 2015 in terms of margin. Como became only the second team to score nine goals in a Champions League match, after Bayern München.

Como’s nine-goal performance

The match took place on Matchday 4 of the 2026/27 campaign. UEFA reports that Tasos Douvikas scored a hat-trick for Como, with six other players also finding the net.

The 9-1 scoreline gave Como the biggest away win in the competition’s history, while its eight-goal margin joined two previous 8-0 results at the top of the largest-margin list.

Liverpool and Real Madrid also won by eight

Liverpool beat Beşiktaş 8-0 on 6 November 2007. Yossi Benayoun scored three times, while Ryan Babel and Peter Crouch each scored twice and Steven Gerrard added a goal. UEFA notes that Liverpool had taken one point from their first three group matches before that victory.
