Mohamed Salah has joined a select group of footballers to have scored in the UEFA Champions League, Europa League and Conference League after finding the net for Trabzonspor in their Conference League league-phase victory over KuPS.
The Egyptian forward also provided an assist in the match, adding another achievement to a career that has included years of prolific performances at Liverpool and on Europe’s biggest stages.
Salah’s feat places him alongside established names such as Harry Kane, Cody Gakpo, Pedro and Mario Götze, whose European careers have taken them through the continent’s three major club competitions.
KANE, GAKPO AND PEDRO
1. Harry Kane
The England captain scored his first Europa League goal during the 2011/12 season with Tottenham Hotspur before opening his Champions League account in 2016/17.
Kane later scored four times in the Conference League group stage, although Spurs failed to reach the knockout rounds.
2. Cody Gakpo
The Liverpool forward scored in the Europa League and Conference League while playing for PSV Eindhoven before moving to Anfield, where he added Champions League goals during the 2024/25 campaign.
3. Pedro
The former Barcelona and Chelsea forward had scored 16 Champions League goals before making his Europa League debut, subsequently netting five times during Chelsea’s victorious 2018/19 campaign, including in the final against Arsenal, before completing the set with Lazio.
WORLD CUP HERO AND PREMIER LEAGUE FORWARDS
4. Mario Götze
The German midfielder, famous for scoring the winning goal against Argentina in the 2014 FIFA World Cup final, completed his European scoring collection with PSV Eindhoven in the 2021/22 Conference League, having previously scored in the Champions League and Europa League.
5. Tammy Abraham
The English striker scored during Chelsea’s Champions League-winning campaign in 2020/21 before helping Roma lift the inaugural Conference League trophy the following season, and he later scored in the Europa League during the Italian club’s 2022/23 run to the final.
Abraham subsequently won the Europa League with Aston Villa in 2025/26, although he did not score during that campaign.
6. Isco
The Spanish midfielder first attracted attention with Málaga, scoring three Champions League goals in 2012/13 before joining Real Madrid, where he won the competition five times, and later scoring in the Europa League and Conference League after moving to Real Betis.
7. Ollie Watkins
The Aston Villa striker made his European debut after joining the club in 2020 and scored five goals in the 2023/24 Conference League campaign, excluding qualifying rounds, before finding the net in the Champions League in 2024/25 and registering five Europa League goals in 2025/26.
VETERAN STRIKER AND ATTACKING TALENTS
8. Edin Džeko
The Bosnia and Herzegovina international had scored in the Champions League and Europa League before completing the trio with Fenerbahçe in the 2023/24 Conference League, later scoring in the competition again during his spell with Fiorentina.
9. Jadon Sancho
The England winger scored in the Champions League with Borussia Dortmund and in the Europa League with Manchester United before completing his collection during his Chelsea loan spell in 2024/25, when he scored twice in the Conference League, including in the final against Real Betis.
10. João Félix
The Portuguese forward scored three Europa League goals for Benfica in 2018/19 before registering three Champions League goals with Atlético Madrid during the following campaign, and he later scored four times in five Conference League appearances for Chelsea in 2024/25.
Félix’s spells at successive clubs have included periods of uncertainty as he continues to seek consistency at the highest level.
SALAH ADDS ANOTHER EUROPEAN ACHIEVEMENT
Scoring across all three UEFA club tournaments reflects the varied European journeys of players who have competed in different competitions over several seasons.
Salah’s latest accomplishment with Trabzonspor adds his name to a group featuring players with contrasting careers, from established international stars to forwards who have built their reputations across several European clubs.
His performances in the Conference League will provide further opportunities to strengthen his record as he continues his career in continental football.
