Another record. Mohamed Salah etched his name into Champions League history among English clubs

Liverpool hosted Atlético Madrid in their opening UEFA Champions League clash, and their talisman managed to set yet another record.

Details: Liverpool struck twice in the opening six minutes. Mohamed Salah was involved in both goals — providing an assist and then scoring himself.

According to Opta, he became the first player in Champions League history to both score and assist within the first six minutes of a match for an English club.

Earlier, we reported that at the age of 38, David Luiz made his Champions League return, playing his first match in the competition since 2017, when he was with Chelsea.
