Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has equaled Samuel Eto’s Champions League knockout feat after scoring against Real Madrid on Tuesday at Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano.
Salah scored in the 51st minute for the visitors, who were already two goals behind thanks to half-time strike from Vinicius Junior and Marco Asensio.
The Egyptian’s goal on the night took his tally to 27 for Jurgen Klopp’s side in all competitions this season.
Salah has now scored 10 goals in the Champions League knockout phase, just like Cameroonian legend during his active days with Barcelona and Inter Milan.

Meanwhile, 28-year-old is two goals shy from Senegal’s Sadio Mane, while he is closing in on Didier Drogba’s record as the highest-scoring African in the knock-out stages of the competition.
The Ivorian and Chelsea icon notched up 14 goals during his career at Stamford Bridge.
