Salah and Klopp Set for New Achievements Tonight

Liverpool's coach Jürgen Klopp and star player Mohamed Salah are set for a chance to achieve new sporting milestones tonight, as the "Reds" face Atlético Madrid in the UEFA Champions League early Thursday morning. Klopp will oversee his 50th match for Liverpool in the Champions League, having won 30 of those, lost 11, and drawn 9. He will thus become the second manager of the "Reds" to lead the club in 50 occasions in the top European competition, a record surpassed only by Rafael Benítez (76 times). Furthermore, Salah's upcoming European appearance will be his 50th with Liverpool, making him the 24th player to reach this milestone for the club, according to "This is Anfield." Salah could also become the first player in Liverpool's history to score two goals in three consecutive matches. The English club has previously faced Spanish teams 47 times, winning 17 matches, drawing 13, and losing 17.
