Mohamed Salah has 15 goals in the Champions League, or in other words more than Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima, O Fenômeno, one of the greatest strikers to play the game.

The former Roma man opened his account in this season’s Champions League against Red Star Belgrade on Wednesday night, firing a brace in the 4-0 hammering, taking him to 15.
Salah, of course has been an elite scorer since his move to Liverpool but still…
The Egyptian has hit 36 goals in 45 Premier League games for the Merseyside club, and was, of course, instrumental in the Reds’ run to the Champions League final – hitting 10 goals in just 12 games last season.
Those 10 goals coupled with two for Basel and one for Roma took him to 13 in Europe's top competition coming into the 2018-19 season.
And with his two against Red Star, the Egyptian superstar has now hit more Champions League goals than David Villa, Miroslav Klose, Zinedine Zidane and, of course, Ronaldo.
