Another day, another Mohamed Salah goal and another Liverpool win.
The Egypt forward has now scored three Champions League goals this season and 22 in 31 games in all competitions.
He has also set up another 17 for team-mates and his total of 39 goal involvements is the highest of any player in Europe’s big five leagues.
His latest goal set Liverpool on their way to victory against Lille and to securing their place in the Champions League last 16.
It was a nonchalant finish as he latched on to Curtis Jones’ superb through ball and lifted over the advancing Lucas Chevalier.
It was his 50th goal in Europe for Liverpool – with 44 coming in the Champions League, five in last season’s Europa League and one in Champions League qualifying.
His latest strike extends his record as the club’s leading European goalscorer and he has now scored 20 Champions League goals at Anfield.
Former Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero (23 at Etihad Stadium) and ex-Manchester United forward Ruud van Nistelrooy (23 at Old Trafford) are the only players to score more goals in the competition at a specific venue for an English team.
“There has always been a smile on Salah’s face but it’s just that belief in himself that he will score,” said former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock on BBC Radio 5 Live.
“That’s what makes him so dangerous. That’s the elite mindset of a player of his calibre.”
He has also been directly involved in 18 goals in 15 appearances at Anfield this season (10 goals, eight assists in all competitions).
“He is a real talisman for Liverpool,” said former Reds striker Robbie Fowler on Amazon Prime.
“He is a game winner. He is very comfortable in front of goal.
“He is one of those players that if he misses a chance, he is not fazed because the next one he will score.
“We wax lyrical about Mohamed Salah and know what he is capable of.”
Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah reached a significant milestone in his career as he scored his 50th European goal for the Reds in their recent Champions League match.
The Egyptian forward has been a key player for Liverpool since joining the club in 2017, and his goal-scoring prowess has been a major factor in their success in European competitions. Salah’s 50th European goal for Liverpool is a testament to his skill and consistency on the field.
Fans and teammates alike have praised Salah for his incredible achievement, with many noting that he is one of the best players in the world. With this milestone, Salah has cemented his place in Liverpool’s history books and further solidified his status as one of the top strikers in European football.
Congratulations to Mohamed Salah on scoring his 50th European goal for Liverpool – here’s to many more to come! #MoSalah #Liverpool #ChampionsLeague
