Mohamed Salah’s penalty goal for Liverpool FC against Tottenham Hotspur was the second fastest goal in the history of the Champions League finals.

The Egyptian converted against France’s world champion goalkeeper Hugo Lloris on Saturday evening after 108 seconds to 1:0.

After 23 seconds referee Damir Skomina (Slovenia) had decided the penalty after a handball by Tottenham’s Moussa Sissoko.

Only Paolo Maldini scored faster in a Champions League final. The Italian had scored 1-0 for AC Milan against Liverpool after 50 seconds in 2005, which won the title after a 3-0 deficit.
