On Sunday, Fabinho made his debut for Liverpool against Al Ahli in the Champions League. The Brazilian midfielder played alongside Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker as Liverpool won 2-1.

The match was Fabinho's first appearance in a competitive match since joining Liverpool from Monaco in January. He was introduced late in the second half and helped to steady the ship for the Reds.

The game was a close affair with both teams creating chances but neither side could find the back of the net. However, Liverpool's goal came in the 79th minute when Sadio Mane scored a penalty after being fouled by Adel Taarabt.

Al Ahli had their moments as well, with Abdoulaye Doucoure scoring a stunning strike from outside the box. But ultimately, it was not enough to secure a victory for the hosts.

Despite the defeat, Fabinho's performance was praised by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp. "He is a very good player," said Klopp. "I think he can help us a lot."

Overall, Fabinho's debut was a successful one, and he showed that he has what it takes to make an impact at Liverpool. With Van Dijk and Alisson in front of him, there will be plenty of opportunities for Fabinho to showcase his talent on the pitch.
