That’s no disrespect to Europe’s second-tier knockout competition, but the Egyptian King is on a level most footballers, let alone forwards, aspire to be.

Despite the fact that the club prevailed 5-1 in the first leg of the Europa League Last-16 in Czechia, Jurgen Klopp fielded a potent lineup at Anfield to maintain momentum ahead of a crucial domestic run.

Within seven minutes of one another, goals from Darwin Nunez, Bobby Clark, Mohamed Salah, and Cody Gakpo gave the Reds a 4-0 lead for the game and a 9-1 lead overall.

During a rout of Sparta Prague in the second leg of our Last 16 tie, the 32-year-old broke yet ANOTHER Liverpool record after striking the back of the net on the night.

After suffering an injury while playing for Egypt in the African Cup of Nations, Salah made a comeback to the Liverpool starting lineup. His goal was especially meaningful because of what it means for his Anfield legacy.

The Egyptian became the first player in seven straight seasons to score 20 goals or more for Liverpool in all competitions.

Since joining the team in 2017, the 31-year-old has become a Merseyside icon. No other Liverpool legend has been able to score at least 20 goals in a season, and he has done so in each one of his three seasons with the team.

In addition, he holds three Premier League Golden Boot trophies—two of which were shared—and the record for most goals scored by an African player in UEFA club tournaments.
