Roberto Firmino won the Qatar Stars League championship with Al-Sadd. After second-placed Al-Shamal SC lost their catch-up game on matchday 17 against Qatar SC 0-2, Roberto Mancini’s team can no longer be caught with a five-point lead on the last matchday (to the table).
It is the club’s third championship in a row, the 19th in the club’s history. In addition to Firmino, ex-Wolfsburg defender Paulo Otávio, Javairô Dilrosun (Hertha BSC) and Mohamed Camara (Red Bull Salzburg) also play for the Qatari record champions. Former Hoffenheim and Liverpool star striker Roberto Firmino contributed twelve goals and four assists in 20 games to the title. Al-Sadd is also represented in the AFC Champions League, where Al-Hilal SFC from Saudi Arabia were eliminated in the round of 16 on Monday evening (7:5 nE). Vissel Kobe from Japan is now waiting in the quarterfinals.
