Liverpool's UEFA Champions League campaign has given fans something different, since they have distracted attention from the usual goalscoring aces. Furthermore, the trio including Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah has re-written the competition's record books, as they are now the best trident in the tournament's history.
According to stats specialist Mister Chip, the South American-African trio has now scored more goals than any trio in UCL history, including the BBC and MSN attacks.
"Best three-men attacks in a single UCL season"
