The Biggest Wins in Champions League History

The Champions League is designed to pit European soccer's elite against one another, but that hasn't prevented some serious mismatches over the years. The competition's expansion has only created a greater number of imbalanced matchups, which has often resulted in some extraordinary results as European royalty dismantle inferior opponents.

10, 2003 marked a momentous day in Champions League folklore as Juventus secured the largest-ever victory when demolishing Olympiacos 7-0. Since then, 16 more matches have been won by seven or more goals.

With that in mind, here are the biggest triumphs in Champions League history. The Biggest Margins of Victory in Champions League History Real Madrid beat Malmö by eight goals in 2015.

Liverpool were the first, achieving the feat in 2007 as they ran riot on home soil against Beşiktaş with an 8-0 victory, during which Yossi Benayoun scored a hat trick. It was a stark contrast from their first group stage meeting that season, which ended 2-1 to the Turkish giants.

Six-time European Cup winners Liverpool nearly matched that margin twice under Jürgen Klopp, only to fall one goal short. 7-0 wins over Spartak Moscow and Maribor arrived during the 2017-18 campaign as the Reds scored 23 times in the group stage, before eventually reaching the final courtesy of their fearsome triumvirate of Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané.

Real Madrid are the only other team to have enjoyed an 8-0 scoreline in the competition, with their glorious night against Malmö in 2015 marked by four goals for Cristiano Ronaldo and a hat trick for Karim Benzema. All eight strikes arrived in the space of 62 minutes at the Bernabéu.

Como became the latest side to join the eight-goal victory club during their debut Champions League campaign. Unbelievably, the Italians were 9-1 winners over Lens on their travels, with six other players scoring alongside Anastasios Douvikas's treble.

it was an astonishing night for Cesc Fàbregas's side. Only Bayern Munich had previously scored nine times in a single Champions League match, with Dinamo Zagreb the unlucky defense repeatedly sliced open at the Allianz Arena.

However, the Croatian side did at least score twice, reducing their margin of defeat slightly. Bayern Munich are one of two sides to score nine in a Champions League match.
