AFC Champions League Elite
Firmino had an influential role in the final, setting up both goals as the Saudi Arabian side defeated Japan’s Kawasaki Frontale 2-0 in the final of the AFC Champions League Elite™ Finals Jeddah 2025 to lift their first Asian title.
Firmino had a slow start to life in AFC Champions League Elite but started showing his true qualities from Matchday Four with a brace and an assist against Iraq’s Al Shorta SC.
The Brazilian went on to score four more goals and provide four assists - including the opening goal against Al Hilal SFC in the semi-finals which helped Al Ahli set up a final clash against Kawasaki Frontale.
In the final, Firmino was at his absolute best to drive Al Ahli to the title, picking out Galeno for the opener before providing the cross for Franck Kessie to nod home to cap a brilliant tournament for the 33-year-old.
The triumph meant Firmino - together teammates Riyad Mahrez and Eduoard Mendy - completed a double of AFC Champions League Elite and UEFA Champions League titles.
