Mohamed Salah has joined Rabah Madjer, Samuel Eto’o, Didier Drogba and Sadio Mane, as the only Africans to have scored in a final of the Champions League.
The Egyptian superstar opened scoring for Liverpool in the second minute, as they went on to defeat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 in Madrid on Saturday night.
Salah’s goal was also the second fastest goal in the competition’s final, behind Paolo Maldini’s effort at the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul.
AC Milan’s Maldini record came in 2005 against Liverpool, after he found the net in just 50 seconds.
However, the Italian club famously went ahead to lose the game on penalties.
