Mo Salah will leave Liverpool with the record of being the club’s top Champions League goalscorer, setting a target that will be hard to surpass.
Mohamed Salah’s CL Record: A quick look
• Record Scorer: Salah ends his Liverpool career with 48 Champions League goals, comfortably surpassing Steven Gerrard‘s previous club record of 30.
• Playmaker too: The Egyptian also holds the club record for most assists (19) in the competition, two more than Gerrard.
• Huge Gap: Highlighting his dominance, the next closest current player in the squad is Dominik Szoboszlai with just six goals.
With the Reds bowing out at the quarter-final stage in this season’s Champions League, the curtains fell on an esteemed European career for Salah at Anfield.
The Egyptian played 85 times in the competition under Jurgen Klopp and Arne Slot, the third-most in club history behind only Jamie Carragher (91) and Steven Gerrard (87).
In that time, Salah scored 48 goals to set a new Liverpool record, with Gerrard’s previous high of 30 surpassed in 2021/22.

Incredibly, the next current player with the most goals in the competition is Dominik Szoboszlai with six. Alexis Mac Allister (5), Cody Gakpo (5) and Virgil van Dijk (5) are close behind.
It is a nod to how prolific Salah has been during the Reds’ Champions League exploits dating back to his first season at the club, which returned his highest tally in a single campaign (11).
From his penalty against Tottenham in the final to his brace against Roma, sealer at Man City, record hat-trick at Rangers, and tight finish against Salzburg, Salah’s bag of tricks had it all.

Not to mention, no player in the club’s history has provided more Champions League assists than Salah, with 19. Gerrard, for comparison, finished with 17.
Liverpool supporters have had a front row seat to his record-setting career since 2017, with Salah continually setting new standards and leaving us in awe, a testament to the player he is.
His records in the Champions League will prove difficult to surpass, and you imagine that is exactly how he would have wanted it. History will be incredibly kind to his legacy at Anfield.
