Egyptian striker Mohamed Salah rose to the height of the former French goleador, scoring Thursday in the Europa League.
Liverpool returned victorious from their trip to Linz on Thursday evening in the Europa League. The Reds won 3-1 against the Austrians and among the scorers of the evening was Mohamed Salah. The Pharaoh signed the latest achievement of his family in the 88e.
Salah walks on water again
This goal did not influence the fate of this fight, but it had a special meaning for Salah. By scoring, he equaled a record held by Thierry Henry which dates back to 2007.
This goal from Salah was his 42e on the European scene with an English club. All successful with Liverpool. And that’s as much as Thierry Henry achieved with Arsenal. The Frenchman then became the best director in the history of a French club in the European Cup. The two legends are therefore equal and there is no doubt that it is only a matter of time before the Egyptian definitively overtakes “Titi”.

In addition to his achievement in the European Cup, Salah is to be congratulated for his cannonball start to the season. He was decisive 7 times in 6 matches. He has 3 goals and 4 assists. The Magician of Anfield has clearly returned to his best level after a bumpy 2022/2023 campaign.
