Liverpool's 1-1 draw against Midtjylland, Norway, will undoubtedly be remembered by Mohamed Salah.
Not for the result since the English club had already qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League (C1), before this meeting of Group D. Not either for the unsightly way in which the Egyptian scored the only goal of the Reds.
On the other hand, the 28-year-old winger will remember that it was on December 9, 2020 that he became the top scorer in the history of Liverpool in C1.
With 22 goals (in 39 matches), Mohamed Salah is now ahead of the legendary midfielder Steven Gerrard (21 goals in 73 matches).
Liverpool's fastest goal in C1
The other top scorers for the British team in the Champions League are teammates of Mohamed Salah: Sadio Mané (17 goals in 37 games) and Roberto Firmino (15 out of 38).
The icing on the cake, Mohamed Salah's goal against Midtjylland, set after 55 seconds of play, is also the fastest in the history of the Reds in the Champions League, according to Opta.
