Chelsea racked up the goals in their Conference League tie against Armenian side Noah, finishing on 8-0 and setting a new record for the young tournament, but fell well short of setting a new continental scoring record.
The scoring started swiftly with goals from Tosin Adarabioyo and Marc Guiu, both netting their first for Chelsea within a minute. Axel Disasi and Joao Felix then extended the lead, before Mykhailo Mudryk’s long-range strike and a second from Felix put Chelsea firmly in control.
Despite a more defensive effort from Noah in the second half, Christopher Nkunku added two more goals to seal the win, matching Chelsea’s 8-0 title-clinching victory against Wigan in 2010. This emphatic result keeps Chelsea at the top of the Conference League standings.
What is the largest single-game win in Europe?
Sporting CP registered the biggest win in a single game in European competition in 1963/64. The Portuguese club thrashed Cypriots APOEL 16-1 in the first leg of the teams’ second-round Cup Winners’ Cup tie, before a relatively modest 2-0 return-leg win sealed an 18-1 aggregate triumph.
In the Europa League/UEFA Cup, the largest margin of victory in a single match is Ajax’s 14-0 thumping of Luxembourg’s Red Boys Differdange, in the 1984/85 first round second leg. Surprisingly, that mammoth scoreline followed a goalless opening leg.
The previous best Conference League win was Nordsjælland 7-1 Ludogorets, and there have been two 6-0 wins: Fiorentina 6-0 Čukarički and Eintracht Frankfurt 6-0 HJK Helsinki.
What are European soccer’s biggest aggregate wins?
Chelsea and Feyenoord share that record, having both beaten Luxembourgish opposition 21-0 over two legs. The Blues walloped Jeunesse Hautcharage in the first round of the 1971/72 Cup Winners’ Cup, before Feyenoord matched the West Londoners’ feat against Rumelage in the 1972/73 UEFA Cup first round.
