Is this a video game? Fabregas' Como produce an absolutely unbelievable Champions League massacre
This is becoming almost impossible to believe! Cesc Fàbregas and his Como side have unleashed an extraordinary attacking storm against Lens in the Champions League, scoring eight times in just 69 minutes on French soil.
Details: On November 4, Como raced into an astonishing 8:1 lead away to Lens during the fourth round of the Champions League league phase. Martin Baturina scored the eighth goal in the 69th minute, sending social media into disbelief. The score was recorded while the match was still in progress and was not yet the confirmed final result.
The extraordinary night began with Anastasios Douvikas opening the scoring in the seventh minute before doubling his tally in the 32nd. Nico Paz added another goal before halftime, leaving Lens with an enormous mountain to climb. But the visitors were nowhere near finished. Lucas Da Cunha and Marc-Oliver Kempf joined the scoring after the break, while Douvikas completed his hat trick.
Teenage substitute Mattia Liberali then made it seven before Baturina added another, taking Como's tally to eight. Lens had also managed to get on the scoresheet, but their reply did little to change the extraordinary nature of the contest. Fàbregas watched his team deliver a ruthless display at Stade Bollaert-Delelis.
It's worth noting that Como are playing their debut Champions League league phase campaign. They had already beaten RB Leipzig and Manchester United 4:1 earlier in the competition. However, scoring eight goals away from home represents an entirely different level of attacking dominance. The 8:1 score reflects the situation after 69 minutes rather than a confirmed final result.
Reminder: Absolute madness! PSG score four goals in just 17 minutes in Champions League clash.
