In a historic match of the UEFA Champions League, newly promoted Italian club Como defeated French side RC Lens 9-1 away. This victory set two new records: it was the highest-scoring win in the competition's history, surpassing previous bests by Liverpool and Real Madrid, and it contributed to a record total of 70 goals scored across all matches during Matchday 4. Seven different players scored for Como, with Greek forward Anastasios Douvikas netting three goals to lead the tournament's scoring charts with six goals. The article notes that while this was the highest goal count for a fourth matchday, it did not break the overall single-day record of 46 goals set earlier in the season.
