Egyptian star targets 52nd goal to climb all time scorers' list

Liverpool Legend Salah Nears New Personal Milestone in Champions League Battle

Mohamed Salah'll chase new personal record tonight when Liverpool host Atletico Madrid in the 1st round of Champions league group stage.

The Egyptian forward's scored 51 goal in the competition (including qualifiers) placing him joint 10th alongside Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.

A single strike at Anfield would see him claim the spot outright & move closer to Kylian Mbappe & Thomas MUller who sit 9th with 57 goal each.

Mixed past against Atletico

Salah's faced Diego Simeone’s side 4 time in the Champions league netting twice at the Wanda Metropolitano in 3 - 2 group stage win during the 2021 /22 season.

However he's yet to score against the Spaniards at Anfield. Overall Salah's the same tally (2) against Atletico as he does versus Real Madrid though it took him 9 match to reach that figure against Los Blancos.

The 32 year old currently sits 10th on the all time scorers' list which's led by Cristiano Ronaldo (141 goal) .. Lionel Messi (129) and Robert Lewandowski (105). A strong campaign could see Salah climb further among the elite.

Liverpool seeking 7th European crown begin their campaign in Group D alongside Atletico, Real Madrid, PSV Eindhoven, Qarabag, Inter, Eintracht Frankfurt, Marseille and Galatasaray.
