Salah Fires Historic Early Double in Champions League Clash

Mohamed Salah etched his name into Liverpool’s record books on a memorable Champions League night at Anfield.
Within just six minutes of the Reds’ 2025/26 group-stage encounter with Atlético Madrid, the Egyptian king delivered a dazzling double impact—first setting up a goal in the 4th minute, then finding the net himself two minutes later.

This remarkable feat makes Salah the first Liverpool player since Steve McManaman in March 1996 to both score and assist inside the opening six minutes of any competitive match.
The electric start sent Anfield into raptures and set the tone for another magical European evening on Merseyside.
