Liverpool legend Ian Rush wants Salah to eclipse 34-year record in Champions League final

According to the Reds idol, the Egypt international 'is a joy to watch' and 'it'll be special' to have him break his longstanding record

Ian Rush has said that 'he wouldn't be disappointed' should Mohamed Salah break his 34-year goalscoring record at Liverpool, preferably in the Uefa Champions League final.

Following his summer purchase from AS Roma, Salah has taken to life at Merseyside in spectacular fashion, scoring 37 times in only 41 games in all competition.

And the Egypt international is just 11 goals away from eclipsing the Anfield great's record of 47 efforts, set in the 1983-84 season to help the Kops clinch a treble.
