Roberto Firmino

Roberto Firmino is a Brazilian forward celebrated for his selfless, intelligent style of attacking play. Now with Al-Sadd, he brings the link play, pressing and finishing that made him a key figure in one of the most successful eras of a leading European club.

Firmino is best known for his time at Liverpool, where he became the heartbeat of a fearsome attack and helped the club win the Champions League and a long-awaited league title. Often deployed as a false nine, he was admired less for raw goal tallies than for his movement, creativity and tireless work, dropping deep to link play and triggering the press that defined his team's identity.

A team-first forward

A Brazil international, Firmino earned widespread respect for the way he made those around him better, sacrificing personal statistics for the good of the collective. His technical quality, vision and understanding of space made him a manager's dream and a fan favourite.

His move to the Gulf brought his talents to a new environment after his time in European football. Now an experienced forward, Firmino continues to offer the intelligence and link play that have always defined his game. His role in a trophy-laden era marks him as a hugely influential modern attacker.
