Champions League: 4 record-breaking stats from the second leg between Roma and Liverpool

#1 Salah, Firmino and Mane overtake BBC

Sadio Mane put Liverpool in front after just nine minutes

Sadio Mane's opening goal was his ninth of the UEFA Champions League this season. However, it was the 29th goal scored in the competition between the trio of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Mane.

Salah and Firmino are Liverpool's joint top scorers in Europe but Mane's goal meant that the trio broke the previously set record of 28 goals by Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo in the 2013/14 season.

Liverpool's attacking front three have established themselves as one of the deadliest attacks in Europe. They complement each other excellently, possessing similar traits and without a doubt, have been the most important ingredient in Liverpool's success in Europe.

29 - Mo Salah (10), Roberto Firmino (10) and Sadio Mane (9) are now the highest scoring trio for a club in a single #UCL campaign, overtaking Ronaldo, Bale and Benzema at Real Madrid in 2013-14 (28). Ménage.
