Champions League: Lens, a historic shame!
RC Lens exploded in front of Como this Wednesday in the Champions League. A simply historic 1-9 defeat at Bollaert.

RC Lens took a monumental slap this Wednesday in the Champions League, crushed with a score of 1-9 at Bollaert by a great team from Como.

The Italian nouveau riche struck three times by Douvikas; Paz, Da Cunha, Kempf, Liberali, Baturina and Papaccioli were happy to drive the point home elsewhere.

Aguilar saved the honor when the score was already 0-7 (65th). A meager consolation prize for the Sang et Or who this evening make history by suffering the heaviest setback of a French club on the continental scene. 29 years after the scathing 1-6 conceded by PSG against Juve at the Parc des Princes in the European Super Cup.

With three points on the clock accumulated in four days, Lens compromises its chances of qualifying for the second phase of the competition. 33rd now (out of 36), Racing must still face Leipzig, Bodo/Glimt, Manchester City and Liverpool. Anything but a walk in the park.

Lens-Côme, the lines at kick-off

Lens’ eleven: Risser – Antonio, Baidoo, Udol – Aguilar, Cuisance, Haidara, Skoras – Thauvin, Ivanovic, Hazard.

The co-masque eleven: Butez – Couto, Ramon, Kempt, Valle – Perrone, Milla – Da Cunha, Paz, Caqueret – Douvikas.
