Salah enters tomorrow's showdown against Spanish giants Real Madrid with 44 goals this season, three short of Rush's record from the 1983-84 campaign when Liverpool won the European Cup, First Division and League Cup treble.
It might seem a tall order for Salah to set a new mark, but Rush has made a promise to him ahead of the Kiev final. "If he beats my record I would actually bow down to him," Rush said.
"To score four goals in a final would be an incredible achievement. Fernando Torres and Luis Suarez were amazing in their first seasons at Liverpool. But I have to say Salah's been even better than them, not only his goals and assists but his all-round game. What I like about him is that he's such a humble guy, if someone's in a better position he passes the ball."
