When Benzema and Ronaldo matched Salah and Firmino

Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino starred against Roma, putting in two of the most impresisve individual Champions League performances in recent memory.

The Egyptian scored twice and laid on two assists, one for Sadio Mane and the other for Firmino himself, who also headed home a James Milner corner to make it 5-0.

Looking back in time, there is one other game which stands out for the similarity of performance from two individuals.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema were the men in question on that occasion as Real Madrid saw off Schalke 04 in the last 16 in February 2014.

That day, the Frenchman opened the scoring from a Ronaldo pass and also scored Real's fourth from another assist from the Portuguese. Ronaldo, for his part, scored the third and sixth, with Benzema laying on the second of those two goals as well as Gareth Bale's strike which made it 2-0.

The game was arguably the finest day in the history of the 'BBC'.

If we look at single players that scored twice and claimed two assists in a single Champions League game then we need look no further than Franck Ribery, who did so in a 5-0 win over Sporting Lisbon in the Last 16 in 2009, scoring the Barvarians' first and third and laying on the fourth and fifth for the evergreen Luca Toni.
