Valverde’s late winner breaks AEK Athens hearts as Real Madrid twice come from behind

Como delivered a historic 9-1 victory away at Lens in the Champions League, with Anastasios Douvikas scoring a hat-trick for Cesc Fàbregas's side. The Serie A team matched the record for the largest margin of victory in modern competition history. Nico Paz, Lucas Da Cunha, Marc-Oliver Kempf, Mattia Liberali, Martin Baturina, and Matteo Papaccioli also found the net to seal Como's third win in four matches.

Elsewhere, Real Madrid secured a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory against AEK Athens thanks to a late long-range strike from Federico Valverde. Aboubakary Koïta and Stavros Pilios scored for the Greek hosts, but Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé equalized before Valverde's decider. In other results, Porto defeated Napoli 4-1, Club Brugge won 2-1 against PSV, and Borussia Dortmund edged Real Betis 2-1.
