Breaking the 132-year record! Salah scores 20+ goals in seven consecutive seasons, the only Red to do so

Liverpool was expected to field a reserve lineup in the second leg of the Europa League round of 16 after a resounding 5-1 away victory in the first leg, aiming for a comfortable progression and preparing for the weekend's FA Cup away fixture against Manchester United. However, Klopp showed no mercy, determined to reignite Salah's scoring touch as the recently recovered Egyptian maestro not only started but played the full 90 minutes, resulting in a resounding victory. With Salah's goal and three assists, a brace from Jota, and goals from Clarke, and Soboslai, along with Nunez's strike, Liverpool crushed Sparta Prague 6-1 at home, advancing to the Europa League quarter-finals with an aggregate score of 11-2.

Fortunate viewers witnessed the creation of new history in this match. In the tenth minute, Clarke fed Salah who clinically finished to give Liverpool a 3-0 lead. This goal held significant meaning for Salah as it marked his 20th goal of the season across all competitions. With three assists in this game, Salah's total for the season reached 20 goals and 12 assists! This marks Salah's third consecutive season with 20+ goals and 10+ assists. Since his arrival at Anfield in the summer of 2017, the Egyptian marksman has achieved 20+ goals and 10+ assists in six out of seven seasons! Liverpool has rarely seen a player like him, proficient in both scoring and assisting while maintaining consistent performance.

With his 20th goal of the season tonight, Salah has set a remarkable record as the first Liverpool player in history to score 20+ goals in seven consecutive seasons! Since Liverpool's establishment in 1892, only one player managed to score 20+ goals in six consecutive seasons, the legendary Ian Rush, whose streak lasted from the 1981-82 season to the 1986-87 season, with season tallies of 30 goals, 31 goals, 47 goals, 26 goals, 33 goals, and 40 goals respectively. Additionally, Roger Hunt and Gordon Hodgson, ranked second and third on the club's all-time scoring list, only managed five consecutive seasons with 20+ goals. Now, Salah, occupying the fifth position in Liverpool's all-time scoring chart, becomes the first in the club's 132-year history to achieve this feat, scoring 44 goals, 27 goals, 23 goals, 31 goals, 31 goals, 30 goals, and 20 goals from the 2017-18 season to the current season respectively.

Currently, Salah has scored 206 goals for Liverpool, with a goal-scoring efficiency of 1 goal every 1.63 matches.
