Lens manager Yannick Cahuzac delivered a scathing assessment of his team following a historic 9-1 defeat to Como in the UEFA Champions League on November 5, 2026. The French side suffered one of the most lopsided results in the competition's history, prompting Cahuzac to tell his players to take "a long, hard look" at themselves.
"We were completely dominated," Cahuzac said after the match. The Lens boss emphasized the need for accountability and reflection within the squad following the humiliating loss at the hands of the Italian club.
The result marks a low point for Lens in European competition and raises serious questions about the team's readiness at this level. Como's comprehensive victory will likely be remembered as one of the most surprising scorelines in recent Champions League history.
