The Biggest Champions League Wins Analyst

Which teams have secured the biggestChampions Leaguewins in the history of the competition? We list all occasions that a team has won a match by a margin of at least seven goals since the rebranded European competition kicked off in 1992.

Biggest Wins in the Champions League 8-Goal Margin Liverpool 8-0 Beşiktaş - 6 November 2007 Real Madrid 8-0 Malmö FF - 8 December 2015 Lens 1-9 Como - 4 November 2026 7-Goal Margin Juventus 7-0 Olympiakos - 10 December 2003 Arsenal 7-0 Slavia Prague - 23 October 2007 MSK Zilina 0-7 Marseille - 3 November 2010 Valencia CF 7-0 KRC Genk - 23 November 2011 Bayern Munich 7-0 Basel - 13 March 2012 BATE Borisov 0-7 Shakhtar Donetsk - 21 October 2014 Bayern Munich 7-0 Shakhtar Donetsk - 11 March 2015 Barcelona 7-0 Celtic - 13 September 2016 Maribor 0-7 Liverpool - 17 October 2017 Liverpool 7-0 Spartak Moscow - 6 December 2017 Manchester City 7-0 FC Schalke - 12 March 2019 Manchester City 7-0 RB Leipzig - 14 March 2023 Bayern Munich 9-2 Dinamo Zagreb - 17 September 2024 PSG 7-0 Brest - 19 February 2025 Liverpool 8-0 Beşiktaş - 6 November 2007 Liverpool became the first team in UEFA Champions League history to score eight goals as they put Turkish side Beşiktaş to the sword at Anfield in November 2007. Alongside Real Madrid's victory over Malmö eight years later, this remains one of the two biggest Champions League wins.

Two Peter Crouch goals bookended another six for the Reds, with Yossi Benayoun netting three of Liverpool's eight goals in this win, becoming the first and so far, only Israeli player to score a treble in Europe's top club competition. With six of Liverpool's eight goals coming after half-time, they became the first team to score as many as six goals in the second half of a Champions League match - a feat that has only been replicated once since, in Lyon's 7-1 demolition of Dinamo Zagreb in 2011.

Real Madrid 8-0 Malmö FF - 8 December 2015 Rafael Benitez was in charge of Liverpool's 8-0 win against Beşiktaş in 2007, and he did it again when in charge of Real Madrid eight years later. There are two outright biggest Champions League wins in history and the Spanish coach is responsible for orchestrating both of them.

Not bad for a supposedly defensive manager. Cristiano Ronaldo (four) and Karim Benzema (three) scored seven of Real Madrid's goals, with this being the only game in UCL history to see two different players score a hat-trick.

Ronaldo's strikes took him to a Champions League record tally of 11 in the group stage alone that season and helped him finish on 16 goals in 2015-16, a total only eclipsed by his own effort in 2013-14 (17). For Malmö, this result followed a 4-0 defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk and a 5-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain.

Overall, they ended up conceding 21 goals in 2015-16 - the fifth-highest tally by a team in a Champions League group stage campaign. Real Madrid eventually went on to win the Champions League final in 2015-16 thanks to a penalty shootout victory over Atlético Madrid in Cardiff.

Lens 1-9 Como - 4 November 2026 Como became just the second team to score nine goals in a single UEFA Champions League match when they hammered Lens 9-1 at Stade Bollaert-Delelis on 4 November 2026. The only previous team to do it were Bayern Munich in their 9-2 win over Dinamo Zagreb in September 2024.

With Como playing away in France, they became the first team to score nine goals in an away match in the European Cup/Champions League since Feyenoord against Olympiakos in September 1971 (won 9-0). Tasos Douvikas scored a hat-trick for Como in the victory, becoming just the third Greek player to score a hat-trick in the UEFA Champions League.
