Mohamed Salah, a top player for Egypt, scored 38 goals in just 60 games, surpassing English Premier League greats and taking the record for most goals scored by English clubs in European history.
Before entering the stadium in the 68th minute, the Egyptian star watched the start of the game from the bench. At the time, he was unaware that the minutes that would follow would usher in history.
Aside from scoring a hat-trick in the Champions League’s history’s quickest time ever, Salah has now outpaced both Didier Drogba of Chelsea and Sergio Aguero of Argentina by scoring 38 goals in 60 games and setting a new record for the most goals scored by an English Premier League player in the European Championship.
Following their respective 36 goals for Chelsea and Manchester City, Drogba and Aguero topped the list. The first took 74 games to accomplish that total, while Aguero needed only 64 games with “Citizens” to attain the same total.
Rudd Van Nesterewi, a former Manchester United striker, and Terry Henry, a legendary Arsenal forward, are tied for second with 35 goals each.
Just three goals will separate Salah from Didier Drogba as the best African top scorer in Champions League history.
In just 60 games, Salah destroys English Premier League superstars.
