Over a number of years, Mohamed Salah has proven himself to be one of the most potent goalscorers in Europe and his record in front of goal reflects that. The Egyptian still has plenty of time left to add to his tally, especially in the UEFA Champions League.

As it stands, Salah boasts 50 goals in the Champions League proper, which doesn't include the four goals he has scored in the qualification stages. The vast majority of his strikes have been scored for Liverpool, and he is the first African player to reach the 50-goal mark in the competition.

In this regularly updated article, we break down the numbers.

Despite having netted so many goals in the competition, only once has Salah reached a double-figure number of Champions League goals in a single season.

By Half

By Minute

It's a testament to the Egyptian's composure and fitness that he's scored the joint-most goals in the final 15 minutes of games (11).
