Mo Salah has become the first Liverpool player to score 20 or more goals for the club for seven consecutive seasons.  

The Egyptian forward smashed a 37-year-old record, which was previously held by Anfield legend Ian Rush, who managed six seasons in a row.  

Salah scored the record-breaking goal during the second leg of their Europa League last-16 tie with Sparta Prague, which ended in a 6-1 victory for Reds.  

It saw Liverpool wrap up the tie with an 11-2 aggregate win to advance to the quarterfinals.  

Meanwhile, West Ham, AC Milan, Benfica, Marseille, Atalanta, Bayer Leverkusen, and Roma have also advanced into the last eight.

Barcelona are reportedly interested in Liverpool's Luis Diaz. 

However, sources say its unlikely the financially-troubled Catalan side will be able to afford the move...with the Reds expected to slap a 100 million pounds price tag on the winger to prevent him from leaving.
