Trabzonspor winger Mohamed Salah has set a unique achievement in European football. During his side's 4-2 victory over KuPS in the opening round of the Conference League main stage, the 34-year-old Egyptian recorded a goal and an assist.
With this performance, Salah became the first player in history to score and provide an assist in all three current European club competitions: the Champions League, the Europa League, and the Conference League.
The veteran attacker has been in prolific form this season, tallying eight goals and four assists in ten official appearances for the Turkish club.
Trabzonspor now turns its attention to upcoming fixtures. They are set to face Besiktas in the Turkish Super Lig on October 19, followed by a Conference League clash against Hearts on October 22.
