Mohamed Salah Becomes Africa’s All-Time Top Scorer in the Champions League

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has made history by becoming the highest-ever African goal scorer in the UEFA Champions League, surpassing Ivory Coast legend Didier Drogba.

The 32-year-old Egyptian forward netted his 45th goal in the competition during Liverpool’s 2-1 victory over Bologna on Wednesday, September 2, marking a significant milestone in his already illustrious career.

Salah’s goal came in the 75th minute, sealing a vital win for Liverpool in their group-stage match.

 This achievement has placed Salah at the top of the African scoring chart, with Drogba now second with 44 goals, followed by Cameroon’s Samuel Eto’o in third with 35 goals.

Moreover, Salah has set additional records, becoming the first Liverpool player to score in five consecutive Champions League games at Anfield.

According to Squawka, he is also the first player to score and assist in nine Champions League games for an English club.

 This accomplishment is not only a personal triumph for Salah but also a source of motivation for aspiring footballers.

“There is no great person without a past,” one fan remarked, emphasizing how Salah’s journey from humble beginnings to breaking records serves as an inspiration.

His determination and work ethic continue to make him one of the most valuable and respected players in the world.
