🤯 Bayern and more: historic thrashings in football, Ajax 😍, 1984 was wild | OneFootball

Bayern Munich kicked off their Club World Cup campaign with a 10-goal thrashing of Auckland City. A huge, exaggerated success that, however, is not unprecedented in international competitions.

In fact, throughout history, there have been several matches that have ended with impressive margins. Here's a collection of the most iconic and largest ones.

THE AJAX OF PHENOMENA: RECORD 14-0

The largest margin in UEFA competition history was recorded in 1984 in the UEFA Cup match between Ajax and Luxembourg's Differdange. After a goalless first leg, the Lancers went wild in the return leg: 14-0.

The scorers of that match are legendary: three goals from Koeman, five from Van Basten, and one from Rijkaard. A truly historic match written by future legends.

MANY 10-0s: A HISTORIC 1984

The 10-0 scoreline, like in Bayern-Auckland, is, absurdly, a relatively "common" result, despite its uniqueness. In UEFA competition history, this scoreline has occurred several times. The remarkable curiosity is that in 1984, in the UEFA Cup, it happened three times. Other precedents include Ajax-Omonia Nicosia 10-0 (1979), Borussia Monchengladbach-EPA Larnaka 10-0 (1970), Leeds-Lyn 10-0 (1969), Benfica-Dudelange 10-0 (1965), Ipswich Town-Floriana 10-0 (1962), and Manchester United-Anderlecht 10-0 (1956).
