Liverpool star Mohamed Salah is now the highest-scoring player for an English club in European competitions
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah continues to etch his name in the annals of football history, and his latest achievement is nothing short of extraordinary. On Thursday evening, in a UEFA Europa League clash against Toulouse, Salah made history by breaking Arsenal icon Thierry Henry’s European goalscoring record.
Liverpool’s performance that night was nothing short of spectacular, as they triumphed over the French outfit with a resounding 5-1 victory. But it was Salah’s contribution that stole the headlines and solidified his status as one of the game’s greatest goal-scorers.
Since joining Liverpool in 2017, Salah has been a prolific force across all competitions. His goal-scoring prowess has been nothing short of remarkable, and the numbers certainly speak for themselves.
With his latest strike, Salah’s European goal tally now stands at an impressive 43 goals, and he shows no signs of slowing down. What makes this achievement all the more remarkable is that all but two of Salah’s European goals have come in the illustrious UEFA Champions League. This is a testament to his consistency and ability to shine on the biggest stage in European football. It’s no wonder that Salah stands considered one of the world’s top attackers, and his goal-scoring record only reaffirms this status.

It took a player 17 years to break Thierry Henry’s record and football.london has on record the Frenchman’s 42 European goals for Arsenal and Barcelona. His contributions on the European stage were instrumental in Arsenal’s success during his tenure at the club. Although he later continued to score in Europe with Barcelona, his record at Arsenal remained intact.
Speaking of Mo, his new record is a testament to his exceptional skill, determination, and consistency. He has not only surpassed a legendary figure like Thierry Henry but has also done so in a relatively short span of time.
As Liverpool supporters, we have been privileged to witness Salah’s incredible journey and his ability to consistently deliver remarkable moments.
