What happened
Como's first Champions League campaign keeps gathering pace under Cesc Fàbregas: the Italian side had already beaten RB Leipzig and Manchester United by identical 4–1 scorelines in this league phase, and at Lens they were 3–0 up by half-time and scored six more after it. Lens, roared on at the Bollaert-Delelis, had only Aguilar's volley to show for a night on which their defence was opened up from the seventh minute to the first minute of stoppage time.
