Liverpool will welcome Inter in their second leg clash of the UEFA Champions League with a handsome lead which came to fruition in the final 20 minutes of the game, and just like every time the Reds are on the pitch, star striker Mohamed Salah found a way to make history and to keep his fans dreaming about one more continental crown.
When the game approached its conclusion, Salah found a loose ball inside Inter's box and drilled it past Samir Handanovic to give Liverpool a two-nil lead, and with that goal, the former Chelsea footballer managed to earn a little bit of history for himself in this edition of the UEFA Champions League.
2 - Mohamed Salah is only the second player to score against both AC Milan and Inter Milan in the same Champions League season, after Peter Crouch for Tottenham in 2010-11. Robot.

When you realize that those goals came while playing away from home, then Salah has even more reasons to be proud of his accomplishment.

Salah and Liverpool will have to wait until March 8 to see if they are able to finish the job, but with this advantage and the Egyptian in such form, it will be hard for Inter to attempt a comeback.
