Five months ago, Xavi Hernandez addressed the team’s fans and said that Al Sadd would bounce back strongly after his team suffered a shock loss to Persepolis FC in the last-16 tie of the AFC Champions League in September 2020.
Fast forward to today and the Wolves are living on that promise sweeping every title coming their way.
Yesterday, they clinched the prestigious QNB Stars League (QSL), with four games to spare lifting the Falcon Trophy for the 15th time after a 3-0 victory over Umm Salal on their home turf. The win took the Wolves to 50 points, giving them an unassailable lead of 13 points over second-placed and defending champions Al Duhail.

Doha: Qatar’s football giants Al Duhail and Al Rayyan advanced to the semi-finals of Amir Cup after winning their respective quarter-finals yesterday.
Al Duhail blanked Al Shamal 2-0 at the Suhaim bin Hamad Stadium, while Al Rayyan progressed after identical win over Al Kharaitiyat at Abdullah Bin Khalifa Stadium.
Kenyan striker Michael Olunga (45+3) and Abdulla Al Ahraq (89) were the scorers for QNB Stars League champions Al Duhail last evening.
Star-studded Al Duhail failed to assert their supremacy over their rivals, more so in the first half where the Al Shamal produced a solid show in defence.
