"Salah did finally etch his name into the history books with a trademark curling effort just after hour mark, becoming the first African player to reach 50 goals in the Champions League."
"The Reds trailed 1-0 from the first leg in Istanbul, but the slender nature of Galatasaray's advantage meant it was always likely to prove a difficult night for the Turkish side, and so it proved as Liverpool ran riot."
"Dominik Szoboszlai levelled the tie on aggregate with a smart finish in the 25th minute and, though Salah missed a penalty late in the first half, Liverpool reaped the rewards of their dominance in the second."
Liverpool advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals with a dominant 4-0 victory over Galatasaray at Anfield, overturning a 1-0 first-leg deficit. Dominik Szoboszlai leveled the aggregate score in the 25th minute, and Liverpool controlled the second half with goals from Hugo Ekitike and Ryan Gravenberch. Mohamed Salah scored his 50th Champions League goal with a curling finish after the hour mark, making history as the first African player to reach this milestone. Salah provided an assist for Ekitike's goal but suffered an injury late in the match. Liverpool will face Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals next month, with an FA Cup match against Manchester City scheduled shortly after.
