Mohamed Salah's 50th European goal for Liverpool in their Champions League win over Lille showed his "elite mindset".

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has said he is "very, very proud" of becoming the first player in the club's history to score 50 goals in Europe.

Mohamed Salah remains set to leave Liverpool at the end of the season, but the club's attempts to hang on to him have been boosted after he was tipped to win the Ballon d'Or

Salah's 50th European goal for Liverpool came with a brilliant finish, after a brilliant pass from Curtis Jones. He has now scored 20 Champions League goals at Anfield, with his overall tally including 44 Champions League goals, five Europa League goals last season, and one in Champions League qualifying.

If this is Mohamed Salah's final season at Liverpool, he is going out in style. The Egypt striker scored his 50th European goal for Liverpool and his 22nd in all competitions this season to help Arne Slot's team secure a place in the Champions League round of 16 with a 2-1 victory over Lille on Tuesday.

The Egypt international has been locked in talks with Liverpool over a new contract in recent months, with his current deal set to expire at the end of the season

Mo Salah is just, quite simply, inevitable in the famous red shirt, isn’t he? Liverpool took first blood in their Champions League encounter with Lille, with the Egyptian international registering his 39th goal contribution in 31 games this term.

Liverpool have plenty of squad gaps on the horizon this summer if they don’t tie up their contract business soon. All of Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah are set to depart at the end of this season for free if they don’t agree fresh terms.
