Roberto Firmino joins exclusive Liverpool club after scoring twice against Benfica

Roberto Firmino became just the fourth Liverpool player to score 20 goals in the Champions League or European Cup after his brace against Benfica on Wednesday evening.

The Brazilian's goals were the difference, handing the Reds a 6-4 aggregate victory against the Portuguese giants. Jurgen Klopp's side will now face Villarreal in the next round for a place in the final, set to be held at the Stade de France in Paris on May 28.

Liverpool's leading scorer in the competition's history - which includes those who scored in the old European Cup - is Mohamed Salah with 33 goals. Sadio Mane has 22 in Europe's most prestigious competition, while Steven Gerrard - the first man to reach 20 - has 21.
