Lens head coach Yannick Cahuzac has challenged his shell-shocked squad to confront some harsh truths after suffering a historic 9-1 Champions League thrashing at home to Como on Wednesday night. Cesc Fabregas' ruthless Italian visitors ran riot at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis to record the largest away victory in the tournament's history.
Lens have banned their own supporters from travelling to Friday's Ligue 1 derby against Lille, saying dangerous behaviour at Club Brugge "crossed a red line". The decision comes after UEFA barred the French side from selling away tickets for Champions League trips to RB Leipzig and Liverpool, with disabled fans and a steward injured by pyrotechnics in Belgium.
UEFA has officially barred Lens supporters from attending their upcoming Champions League clash at Anfield against Liverpool. The heavy sanction follows a series of crowd disturbances and the extensive use of pyrotechnics during recent European fixtures.
