BEN YEDDER MATCHES LUIS FABIANO'S 10 GOALS AND SHOWS HIMSELF AT HOME IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Wissam Ben Yedder is on the verge of making Champions League history for Sevilla FC. As of last night's magical brace against Liverpool, the French-Tunisian striker has equaled the record of Luis Fabiano in goals scored in the Europe's biggest tournament (10) and has surpassed the record of Sevilla legend, Freddy Kanouté, who scored 9 in the Champions League. Unlike the two Sevilla icons who needed 18 games for their respective goal tallies, Ben Yedder has achieved his feat in just 12. With his ten goals - and with one more Champions League fixture guaranteed against Maribor - Ben Yedder could not only help Sevilla to a Champions League knock-out stage but also make club history in the process. 

With his 20-20 eye for goal and an innate ability to be in the right place at the right time, Sevilla's leading scorer in all competitions has already managed a hat-trick against Maribor, a brace against Liverpool at home as well as one goal in last year's Champions League campaign against Olympique de Lyon. Perhaps none of his strikes have come more important than his majestic header to give Sevilla hope on Tuesday against the Reds, where the frontman showed his lethal movement by getting in front of the English defense to nod Los Nervionenses back into the game. In total, he's scored three goals against Liverpool, another three against Maribor, two against Basaksehir (in Sevilla's Champions League playoff), one against Lyon and one more in a 4-0 thrashing of Dinamo Zagreb last season. 

This season he has scored three goals against Liverpool and Maribor and two against Istanbul Basaksehir

Ben Yedder, already up there with the goal-scoring greats of the continent, opened his tally in the second match of the last Champions League against Lyon which resulted in a victory (1-0) for the Sevillistas in Nervión; the second was in the fourth match against the Croatians, with a final scoreline of 4-0, also at home. But the player has shown himself as the great goalscorer he is this year in Europe's biggest tournament. 

The Frenchman scored 2 goals against Istanbul Basaksehir, one in Istanbul and the other in Sevilla, a hat-trick against Slovenian side Maribor (3-0) at the Sánchez-Pizjuán; he was first to score at Anfield and bagged 2 goals in Tuesday's clash - a magical night for Sevillistas. With ten goals in total, doubling his goal tally from last year, the striker looks at his peak and is sure to continue in this vein of form as he continues to make history.
