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.
