Firmino spent two seasons with Al Ahli after joining from Liverpool and played a key role in the club’s first continental title victory, scoring six times in 12 matches in the Asian Champions League Elite. Provided assists for both goals for his club in their victory over Kawasaki Frontale of Japan in the final in May to become the first player, along with his club teammates Riyad Mahrez and Édouard Mendy, to win continental titles in Asia and Europe. Firmino’s performances saw him named the competition’s most valuable player. The 33-year-old player joins an Al Sadd team that won last season’s national title to qualify for the next edition of the Asian Champions League Elite.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.
Roberto Firmino
