How difficult is it to win the Champions League and the Asian Champions League double championship? Only 3 people did it, from the same team, even if they are stronger than Ronaldo, they will not be a
The European football scene has come to a big curtain this season. With the opening of the transfer window, the stars of some giant teams have become in touch with the Saudi league. Real Madrid's Vinicius, Manchester United's B Fee, and Milan's fast-moving Mateo have all had scandals with Saudi Arabia's rich team this summer. There are currently a lot of stars playing in the Saudi League. A large number of stars such as Ronaldo, Kanter, and Mane who have won the Champions League championship are all trying out gold in the Saudi League. They are also fighting for the championship in their respective teams. However, in Asian and European arenas, players who won the Champions League and the AFC Champions League double championships only after this season. Let's take a look today.
Firmino Liverpool's & Jeddah Nationals
In the summer of 2023, Liverpool's Brazilian star Firmino joined the Saudi giant Jeddah Nationals without a sign-off with the title of Champions League and Premier League champion. During his time at Liverpool, Firmino followed the Reds to the top of Europe. In the 2018-19 season, Firmino helped Liverpool reach the Champions League final after many years. In the Champions League final facing Tottenham, the Reds successfully defeated Tottenham and won the sixth Champions League championship in team history. Firmino made 12 appearances in the Champions League that season, contributing 4 goals and 1 assist, helping the team win the Champions League championship.
After joining Jeddah Nationals, Firmino had the opportunity to compete for the AFC Champions League. In the 2024-25 AFC Champions League, Jeddah Nationals successfully passed the test of the league stage and eliminated Buriram United and Riyadh Crescent, which was also full of stars in the knockout round. In the final, he defeated J League team Kawasaki forward Firmino 2-0 and gave two assists in the AFC Champions League final, using assists to score twice to help Jeddah Nationals win the AFC Champions League championship. In 12 AFC Champions League games, Firmino contributed 6 goals and 7 assists, making him one of the biggest contributors to the team's AFC Champions League Cup, and Firmino was also elected as the most valuable player in the AFC Champions League this season. At the same time, he and his teammates Mahrez and Mendy became the first players to win the Champions League and the AFC Champions League.
Edward Mendy Chelsea & Jeddah Nationals
Firmino's teammate Mendy in Jeddah Nationals is also a double champion in the Champions League and the AFC Champions League. In July 2023, Mendy joined Jeddah Nationals for a transfer fee of 18.5 million euros and became the team's main goalkeeper. Before joining Jeddah Nationals, Mendy played for three seasons at Chelsea and successfully followed the team to win the Champions League title. In the 2020-21 season, Chelsea eliminated Atletico Madrid, Porto and Real Madrid all the way, successfully meeting with Manchester City in the Champions League final. With Havertz's one-hit victory in the Champions League final, the Blues won the second Champions League championship in team history. Mendy made 12 appearances as Chelsea's main goalkeeper at that time, helping the team complete a clean sheet in the final and winning the Champions League title.
Jeddah Nationals reached the finals this season and finally defeated his opponent and won the cup as he wished. Mendy made 9 appearances in the AFC Champions League match and started in the AFC final, completing many saves, ensuring that the goal was not lost, and ultimately helped the team win the final. Mendy also became the champion of the Champions League and the AFC Champions League. Only three people won these two honors in the world football world, and Edward Mendy is one of them.
Mahrez, Manchester City's Jeddah Nationals
Mahrez, who became famous in Leicester City's miracle, was able to say that he had first declined and then rose in his career. After experiencing the early depression and unsuccessfulness, he took off in Leicester City and achieved greater success later. Also joining Jeddah national in 2023, Mahrez came to the Asian arena with the title of Premier League champion and Champions League champion, competing with opponents such as Cristiano Ronaldo again. Before leaving Manchester City, Mahrez had very sweet memories of the championship in Blue Moon. After joining Manchester City for 67.8 million euros in the summer of 2018, Mahrez won four Premier League championships for Manchester City, and contributed 78 goals and 59 assists in 236 games. The most important of these is to help Manchester City win the first Champions League championship in team history. In the 2022-23 season, Manchester City defeated Bayern and Real Madrid all the way in the Champions League knockout round, reaching the Champions League final for the second time in the team's history. Under the leadership of Guardiola, Manchester City defeated Inter Milan 1-0 and won the first Champions League championship in the history of the team. Mahrez contributed 3 goals and 2 assists in nine Champions League games that season, helping Manchester City win the coveted championship trophy.
Mahrez, who has played for Jeddah Nationals for two seasons in the 2024-25 season, ushered in a moment of history. He and his teammates Mendy and Firmino will have the opportunity to successfully become the first players to win the AFC and the Champions League, which has never happened in history. In this season's AFC Champions League, Mahrez started all 13 games and contributed 9 goals and 8 assists, becoming the biggest contributor to the Jeddah national championship. In the end, the team successfully won the AFC Champions League trophy, and Mahrez, Mendy and Firmino also created the history of Asian football.
