In the summer of 2017, Liverpool made one of the best decisions in recent years by signing Mohamed Salahfrom AS Roma. The$46 million fee proved to be a real bargain shortly after the winger moved to Anfield.
Having failed to shineat Chelsea a few years before, the Egyptian superstar had an impressive return to the Premier League, scoring 149 goals in 232 appearances and winning the Golden Boot twice.
Besides, Salah played a pivotal role in the Redsā successes over the last few years, cementing his status as one of the worldās best players. At 29, the winger is on pace to overtake Cristiano Ronaldo in an incredible UEFA Champions League stat.
Mohamed Salah could break this Cristiano RonaldoChampions League record
Even though the Egyptian idol has a lot of work to do to tie the Portuguese in Champions League titles won, he is not that far from taking an impressive feat away from him. Cristiano Ronaldo holds the record for the most consecutive away goals scored in the Champions League with 12, something he achieved while he played at Real Madrid.
With his goalagainst Inter Milan in Liverpoolās 2-0 win in the first leg of the 2021-22 Champions round of 16, Mohamed Salah made it eight straight away matches getting on the scoresheet.
Therefore, now he is just four goals shy to tie Ronaldoās record and five away from breaking it. However, Salah wonāt be able to do so this campaign as there are not enough games left. Even if Liverpool make it to the final, they would play just two more away matches in the quarter and semifinals. But,even though heād have to wait, it might be just a matter of time before Salah breaks the recordif he continues like this.
