Mohamed Salah is one goal away from becoming Liverpool’s outright top scorer of all time in European competition.

Currently level with Steven Gerrard on 41, the Egyptian will move clear in the history books if he nets in Tuesday night’s Champions League tie with Real Madrid at Anfield.

Salah’s European total since joining the club has been amassed exclusively in the Champions League.

If Jordan Henderson features he will enter the list of the Reds’ top 10 appearance makers in Europe, joining Phil Neal on 74 matches.

Liverpool are two goals away from reaching 150 in the Champions League during the tenure of Jürgen Klopp. This will be his 66th fixture.

This will be the Reds’ 52nd meeting with a Spanish opponent – their highest number against clubs from any single nation.

This is the eighth successive campaign in which Liverpool have faced a side from Spain.

The Reds are aiming to record a third successive home win over Spanish opposition for the first time in their history, following victories last season against Atletico Madrid and Villarreal.

Klopp’s men have won 15 of their last 19 fixtures in Europe, with one draw and three defeats.

Alisson Becker and Virgil van Dijk have played every minute of Liverpool’s Champions League campaign so far this season. Alisson has started each of the club’s last 23 games in the competition.

Trent Alexander-Arnold will miss the second leg in Madrid if he receives a yellow card in this match.

After losing at Napoli on matchday one, the Reds won their next five group-stage games, scoring 16 times and conceding just twice.
