Juventus still own the biggest-ever Champions League win, their 7-0 demolition of Olympiacos on Dec. 10, 2003. Since the competition was rebranded in 1992, only three teams have won by eight goals. That is the scale of the club that the competition's most extreme scorelines belong to.
The eight-goal group
Liverpool are in it thanks to the 8-0 against Beşiktaş in 2007, when [Yossi Benayoun] did not need long to make the night count with a hat trick. Real Madrid joined them in 2015 with an 8-0 against Malmö, and Cristiano Ronaldo scored four while K. Benzema scored a hat trick. Real Madrid wrapped that one up in 62 minutes.
Como's place in the discussion
Como's 9-1 over Lens on Nov. 4, 2026 added another huge scoreline to the conversation, with Anastasios Douvikas scoring a treble. SI.com listed it alongside the competition's historic routs, although the margin is bigger than the eight-goal wins that sit in the same debate. However it is framed, it belongs with the kind of Champions League nights that do not happen often.
The main takeaway is simple enough. The Champions League produces shock scores now and again, but the elite blowouts are still rare, with Juventus's 7-0 standing above the rest and only a handful of eight-goal wins beneath it.
