Lille quickly proved that they were not to be bullied when they equalized in the 62nd minute with a goal from Jonathan David.
When the game was balanced, Mandi’s red card (minute 59) turned the game around. Taking advantage of the advantage, Liverpool pressed their opponents and sealed a 2-1 victory with Elliott’s goal in the 67th minute.
Gaining a maximum of 21 points after 7 matches, Liverpool maintained their top position in the table, and also quickly qualified for the round of 16.
Notably, Salah himself entered the top 10 greatest scorers in the history of the tournament with 51 goals. Leading the list of goalscorers in the history of the UEFA Champions League is Cristiano Ronaldo (141 goals), Messi is second (129 goals). Both Ronaldo and Messi have almost run out of chances to improve their scoring record in the most prestigious tournament in Europe.
The next positions in the list of players with the most goals in the UEFA Champions League are: Lewandowski (102 goals), Benzema (90 goals), Raul (70 goals), Van Nistelrooy (60 goals), Shevchenko (59 goals), Thomas Muller (55 goals), Henry and Salah (both 51 goals).
At the age of 32, Salah is still maintaining his peak performance and is an important core for Liverpool to aim to conquer the titles this season.
