"Mohamed Salah scored a spectacular 50th Champions League goal as Liverpool cruised through to the quarterfinals with a 4-0 win over Galatasaray at Anfield on Wednesday. With the 4-1 aggregate win, Liverpool book a meeting with champions Paris Saint-Germain, who ended the Premier League side's challenge a year ago."
"But Salah fully atoned for that miss in the second half. The Egypt forward supplied a low cross for Hugo Ekitike to score Liverpool's second and just two minutes later it was his saved shot that led to Ryan Gravenberch putting the hosts firmly in control."
"Salah curled in a magnificent fourth in the 62nd minute to become the 12th player, and the first from Africa, to reach 50 Champions League goals."
Liverpool overcame a 1-0 first-leg deficit to eliminate Galatasaray 4-1 on aggregate with a dominant 4-0 home victory. Dominik Szoboszlai equalized early in the second leg, and Mohamed Salah delivered a standout performance, scoring once and assisting twice. Salah's second-half goal marked his 50th in Champions League competition, making him the first African player to reach this milestone. Despite missing a penalty in the first half, Salah's contributions proved decisive. Galatasaray offered minimal resistance, particularly after Victor Osimhen's injury forced him to miss the second half. Liverpool's commanding display sets up a quarterfinal clash against defending champions Paris Saint-Germain.
