Mohamed Salah out to achieve rare scoring feat v Real Madrid
Just four players have scored in four consecutive European appearances for Liverpool - and Mohamed Salah will join that exclusive group if he nets against Real Madrid on Tuesday night.
Roger Hunt, Robbie Fowler, Djibril Cisse and Steven Gerrard (twice) achieved the feat previously, with Gerrard the most recent to do so when he registered in five successive games in 2007-08.
Salah, who took his tally for the season to 26 by scoring at Arsenal on Saturday, boasts 25 goals in 43 Champions League matches for the Reds.
