Lens are facing growing unrest among their supporters

Lens are facing growing unrest among their supporters following their humiliating 9-1 Champions League defeat against Como. The historic result, which equalled the competition's record for goals conceded in a single match under its modern format, has triggered an angry response from five fan organisations.

Red Tigers, Kop Sang et Or, North Devils, Lens 1906 and Artois Lens Boys issued a joint statement describing the defeat as unacceptable and claiming that a red line had been crossed.

The groups also criticised the players' attitude and the conduct of certain club officials, arguing that the damage to Lens' European reputation could last for decades.

They are now considering possible protests ahead of today's match against Marseille, with measures intended both to hold those responsible accountable and prevent similar performances.

The supporters insist action is necessary to protect the club's identity and future.
