Como produced a 9-1 win away at Lens in the Champions League on Wednesday, a result that matches the largest victory in the competition's history, according to AD.nl. Former FC Utrecht striker Tasos Douvikas stole the show for the Italian side, De Telegraaf reports.

The scale of the defeat was especially stark for Lens, who had lost their previous match in Bruges, Sporza notes. The French club conceded nine on the night as Como ran away with the game.

AD.nl also reports that FC Porto picked up confidence ahead of their away trip to Feyenoord, with Voetbal International describing the Portuguese side's result as their first Champions League win of the season. NU adds that Como's Paz paid tribute to De Miguel after the match.

The result places Como level with the record margin for a Champions League fixture, per the Dutch outlets. Further details of the scoring and the Porto match were not included in the available reporting.

Attention now turns to Porto's visit to Feyenoord, where the Portuguese club will look to build on Wednesday's win.
