At 34, Mohamed Salah continues to add records to his extraordinary career. The Egyptian forward, currently playing for Trabzonspor, has written another major chapter in his country's footballing history by reaching an unprecedented milestone for the national team.

Thanks to a brace scored in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Malawi, he has taken his tally to 70 goals for Egypt, becoming the all-time leading scorer for the Pharaohs.

Salah has thus overtaken Hossam Hassan, his former national team coach and previous record holder, carving an even more prominent place in the history of the Egyptian national side.
