History was made in Jeddah as Saudi Arabia's Al Ahli claimed their first-ever AFC Champions League Elite title in a thrilling 2-0 victory against Japan's Kawasaki Frontale! 🌟🔥 Over 60,000 roaring fans at King Abdullah Sports City Stadium witnessed their home team dominate the final with style, completing an unbeaten tournament run.
⚽ The dynamic duo of Galeno and Franck Kessie sealed the deal with first-half goals. Galeno’s jaw-dropping curler (courtesy of a Firmino pass 🎯) and Kessie’s header sent the crowd into a frenzy. Former Liverpool star Roberto Firmino, who later bagged the MVP award, proved why he’s the club’s secret weapon. 💫
Kawasaki Frontale, the underdogs who stunned Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr in the semis, couldn’t crack Al Ahli’s defense packed with UEFA Champions League veterans like Riyad Mahrez and Edouard Mendy. 🛡️
🏟️ "This is for our fans!" said goalkeeper Mendy post-match, highlighting the electric home crowd energy. Al Ahli now joins Saudi giants Al Ittihad and Al Hilal as continental champions. Talk about leveling up! 💥⚡
