Champions League: Salah targets Samuel Eto’o record

Tuesday evening, Mohamed Salah dazzled again in the Champions League. Already decisive in the Premier League this weekend against Brighton, the Egyptian striker led Liverpool to a resounding 4-0 victory against Bayer Leverkusen, adding two assists to his tally.

With these two new passes, Salah now has 17 assists in the Champions League, surpassing Hakim Ziyech’s 15 and Riyad Mahrez’s 16. His goal? Joining, then surpassing, the legendary Samuel Eto’o, African record holder with 20 assists in the competition.

Already the top African scorer in the history of the C1, Salah could soon become the best decisive passer.
