Comparing Cristiano Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah Premier League records

Cristiano Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah are arguably two of the best players to have ever graced the Premier League. Both of them have created quite impossible records and stats throughout their years in England.

After struggling to make an impact at Chelsea, Salah returned to England in 2017 and won the Golden Boot in his first two seasons at Anfield before lifting the Premier League in 2019-20.

In the following two seasons, Manchester City won the title, but Salah has maintained his own high standards and helped Liverpool push City all the way in 2021-22, winning another Golden Boot in the process.

Salah signed a new contract in 2022 and his manager Jurgen Klopp has insisted that the 30-year-old Egyptian is still improving.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Klopp said: "I think he found a right foot on holiday. He always develops. It's really crazy.

"I know a few years back he arrived and usually when a player comes from outside inside they use the inside of the foot to spin the ball and all of a sudden he had the full throttle – the Chelsea goal is a pretty remarkable one. This year he arrived with crosses with his right foot."

Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo moved to the Premier League as a spotty, gelled-hair-sporting whippersnapper back in 2003 and went on to secure his status as a Premier League legend long before he left the country and set new records at Real Madrid and Juventus.

Eventually, he returned to the English top tier aged 37 and banged in 18 league goals in a poor Manchester United team in 2021-22.

In 2016, United's legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson told an audience in Nuremberg: "Ronaldo is a perfect example of someone who made himself. It's easy for me to say, 'Yeah, I made Ronaldo.'

"Many coaches might say I made this player and I made that player, but Ronaldo made himself. We just gave him the tools and the platform to excel. His practice ethic was incredible."

"He was a fantastic player, he was the best.

"We had fantastic players in Scholes, Giggs, and Cantona. We had some fantastic footballers, but Ronaldo was just something else."

Ronaldo has racked up more appearances in the competition than Salah, but how do Cristiano Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah overall records compare? We've taken a look.

Full-time | Manchester City 2-2 Brighton

Despite taking the lead two times throughout the game, Brighton hold Manchester City in a 2-2 stalemate at home.

Erling Haaland drew the first blood from the spot, which was canceled out only ten minutes later, through a blistering free-kick by Pervis Estupinan. Right before the break, Omar Marmoush produced a lightning strike, which put City ahead at the break. However, Brighton equalized only three minutes into the second half, as Hinshelwood's strike forced Khusanov to fire it into his own net. 

Following that, Brighton had a couple of chances, with Baleba missing a golden opportunity, but they fought well to snatch a point away from Etihad, intensifying the qualification race for the top four spots in the 2024-25 Premier League!

The UEFA Champions League is the pinnacle of club football, boasting the best talent from around the globe. Over the years, African players have made a significant impact on Europe's elite competition, with many of them showcasing their skills but also finding the back of the net consistently.

While the Ivorian found the net just 10 times in 48 games for the Hammers, he experienced a career revival at Ajax, netting an impressive 32 times in 50 games. Sebastian Haller made his Champions League debut in the 2021-22 season, scoring in his first seven games in the competition, including four in his debut against Ruben Amorim’s Sporting. Haller scored just one more UEFA Champions League goal and was given just 10 minutes in the German side’s 2024 final defeat to Real Madrid.

9. Rabah Madjer | Algeria | 12 Goals:

Madjer is considered one of the best players in the history of Algerian football and shot to renown as a Porto player in the 1980s. He scored six goals on Porto’s first UEFA Champions League winning run, including the equalizer against Bayern Munich in the final at the Ernst-Happel-Stadion. Madjer retired in 1992 and twice managed his home country, having played in their first ever World Cup in 1982.

8. Vincent Aboubakar | 14 Goals | Cameroon:

Aboubakar made his UEFA Champions League debut in 2014 with Porto, scoring a goal in a 6-0 thrashing of BATE Borisov. He came back with a goal in the return fixture at home to Shakhtar and scored his first knockout goal against Basel but was an unused substitute in both quarter-final legs against Bayern Munich, including the 6-1 defeat that sent Porto out.

In the next two seasons, one spent at Porto and the other at Besiktas, Aboubakar netted six times but failed to get out of the group stage. He scored his final Champions League goals in 2017 with a brace against Monaco but was injured for the last 16 tie against Liverpool, a 5-0 defeat at the Estádio do Dragao.

7. Seydou Doumbia | 15 Goals | Ivory Coast:

Doumbia scored 15 UEFA Champions League goals in 31 games for three different clubs in his career. He moved to Basel in 2016, scoring just once in six games before ending his European run at Sporting in the 2017-18 season. He made his debut with CSKA Moscow, scoring five times in the 2011-12 season, but never hit that height again.

6. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang | Gabon | 17 Goals:

 Aubameyang primarily scored his goals with Dortmund, he managed just two for Chelsea, but Gabon’s all-time top scorer never made it past the UEFA Champions League quarter finals having twice exited at that stage in 2014 and 2017. Aubameyang is, however, the all-time top goal scorer in Europa League history, netting 34 times in 62 games.

5. Riyad Mahrez | Algeria | 20 Goals:

Riyad Mahrez kicked things off with two goals in Leicester’s opening group match against Brugge before finding the net two more times ahead of the knockouts. He played every minute of Leicester’s knockout run but could only manage a single assist in that time. 

In the 2020-21 season, Mahrez was a crucial player on Manchester City’s run, scoring in the quarters before three goals against PSG in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals. However, he could not find the net as City lost 1-0 to Chelsea in the final. By the time of the 2023 win, Mahrez had fallen down the City pecking order and stayed on the bench for the whole of the 1-0 win against Inter.

4. Sadio Mane | Senegal | 27 Goals:

The 2019 and 2022 African Player of the Year Mane was a talisman in Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool rebuild. Joining in 2016, Mane along with Salah and Roberto Firmino combined to be a lethal front three with the Senegalese player scoring 10 goals in the 17-18 UEFA Champions League season, a figure only beaten by his team-mates and Cristiano Ronaldo. Moving to Bayern Munich in 2022, Mane struggled to replicate his Liverpool form but still scored three goals in the group stages before departing for Al-Nassr in 2023.

3. Samuel Eto'o | Cameroon | 30 Goals:

The four-time African player of the year winner, a figure only matched by Yaya Toure, scored most of his UEFA Champions League goals for Barcelona including six in their 2005-06 triumph and four in the 2008-09 win under Pep Guardiola. Moving to Inter in 2009, Eto’o became the fourth player in history to win back-to-back Champions Leagues at different clubs and played every game in the Jose Mourinho-masterminded run. Still considered by many to be the best African player of all-time, Samuel Eto’o was a deadly mix of pace and clinical finishing.

2. Didier Drogba | Ivory Coast | 44 Goals:

With 10 goals in 10 finals, the Ivorian was the man for the big occasion, and he made his UEFA Champions League debut with Marseille in 2003, scoring five goals in six games. Getting his move to Chelsea the following season, Drogba hit the same number in the 2004-05 campaign but managed just one goal in seven appearances the next year. 

He scored twice in the 2008 semi-final to set up a clash against rivals Manchester United, but a John Terry slip in a rain-soaked Moscow denied Chelsea their first UEFA Champions League title. But that success would come in 2012 with Drogba playing a starring role in the final.

1. Mohamed Salah | Egypt | 50 Goals:

Considering he scored just three goals in his first 15 UEFA Champions League appearances, betting on Mohamed Salah to one day become the leading African goal-scorer would have seemed a waste of money back in 2016. Famously a second choice of Klopp – the German preferred Julian Brandt – Salah hit 10 goals in his first UEFA Champions League season at Anfield, propelling Liverpool to their first final since 2007 but an early injury caused by Sergio Ramos forced him to the sideline as Real Madrid won 3-1 in Kyiv.
