Resident opinion-divider Darwin Núñez can join some ridiculously illustrious company tonight if he scores. Darwin has scored 9 goals in 17 European appearances for us, with the fastest players to accomplish 10 European goals in a Red shirt being –
- Mo Salah - 13 appearances
- Sadio Mane - also 13 appearances
- Robbie Fowler - 16 appearances
- Roger Hunt - 18 appearances
Núñez remains our top scorer in the Europa this season with 5 goals
