Mohamed Salah is on the verge of re-writing Liverpool's record books in his first season with his goal tally in all competitions, but he has already accomplished that feat in the UEFA Champions League.
The Egyptian footballer scored a brace against Roma in the first 45 minutes of their semi-final clash after a few inspired minutes by the Reds, who overcame Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's injury brilliantly.
Taking full advantage of the team's quick-paced attack, Salah's goals secured him a spot in Liverpool's record books in European competitions, while also making him the best goalscorer in Europe with 43 goals at the moment.
