Mohamed Salah steps past Steven Gerrard and nears Jamie Carragher’s Champions League mark

Mohamed Salah etched his name deeper into Liverpool’s story on Wednesday night as he played his 74th Champions League match for the club in their clash with Atletico Madrid at Anfield.

The Egyptian forward is now Liverpool’s second-most capped player in the competition, surpassing Steven Gerrard’s long-standing tally of 73 appearances.

Salah’s journey at Liverpool has been defined by consistency, goals, and a relentless hunger to compete at the highest level. His latest milestone carries even greater weight because of the names he has overtaken. Gerrard’s influence at Liverpool remains legendary, yet Salah’s durability on the European stage has pushed him ahead in one of the club’s most cherished records.

Now only Jamie Carragher sits above him, with 80 Champions League appearances. That mark, once thought out of reach, is just six games away from Salah’s reach. For Liverpool supporters, the moment is a reminder that they are witnessing a player who continues to shape history with every game he plays.
