Not bad that
That fella out right is quite good, isn't he? Bit wild Chelsea let him go for pennies.
Mohamed Salah today became the first Liverpool player to reach 50 goals in European competition.
Liverpool won against Lille at home in a new Champions League format that makes the victory entirely about the club's financial benefit over placement in subsequent stages given the side's previous dominance. Salah spoke to the press about an achievement that many missed in real time:
"Hopefully [I'm] not the last one [to reach 50] but it's something I'm very happy and proud about – and especially because we won the game, so that's the most important thing."
The diplomatic winger then spent time speaking of the match winner, Harvey Elliott (whose shot may have been deflected into the top corner):
"I'm happy for him, I'm always there to help him. He's a great lad and always tries to give his best – sometimes [he plays] five minutes, today he had 45 minutes. He was great, so I'm happy for him.
"I think when you want to win a big tournament, you have to have a big squad. We have a good one at the moment, so hopefully we carry on like that."
