Firmino spent two seasons with Al Ahli after arriving from Liverpool. He played a key role in the club’s first victory in a continental title, scoring six goals in 12 matches in the Asian Champions League. Provided assists for both goals for his club in the victory over Kawasaki Frontale of Japan in the final in May, becoming the first player, along with teammates Riyad Mahrez and Édouard Mendy, to win continental titles in Asia and Europe. His performances earned him the competition’s most valuable player award. The 33-year-old player joins an Al Sadd team that won the national title last season and qualified for the next edition of the Asian Champions League.I am happy because we made history at the club during these two years together. The best moment was becoming Asian champions. I am very grateful for this.
