Omar Khirbin, Al-Ahly youth striker, scored his first goal this season against Al-Wahda, in the third round of the “ADNOC Professional League”, which ended with the victory of “Al Fursan” 2-1, but Kharbin refused to celebrate with his colleagues the goal, out of respect for his former team, especially as he moved to “Al Fursan” for a season on loan.
Khirbin’s behavior was similar to that of the Norwegian Erling Haaland, the Manchester City striker, who refused to celebrate his goal against his former team, Borussia Dortmund, in the match that brought them together in the second round of the group stage of the Champions League, and Haaland scored the second City goal and victory in the 84th minute. He did not celebrate and raised his hand to his colleagues to confirm that he refused to celebrate, which is what Kharbin did.
Khirbin joined Al Wahda from Saudi Al Hilal in January 2021, and scored 8 goals with him in half a season. Last season, he scored 15 goals. He previously played for Al Dhafra for two seasons, where he scored 9 goals in 12 matches, during the 2015-2016 season, and 8 goals. In 14 games during the 2016-2017 season, the number of his goals so far reached 41 goals in 5601 minutes in 63 matches with 3 clubs.
Kharbin previously played with Al Hilal for 5 seasons, in the middle of the 2016-2017 season to the middle of the 2020-2021 season, and during this period he played with Egyptian Pyramids for half of the 2018-2019 season on loan.
With Al Hilal, he won the Saudi League title 3 times in 2017, 2018, 2020, and the cup once in 2017, the Asian Champions League in 2019, and the Saudi Super Cup 2018, and in 2017 he won the title of top scorer in the Asian Champions League, and the award for the best player in the continent, becoming the first Syrian player He wins the title, and the first non-Saudi player to win the award with Al Hilal.
His beginning was with the Syrian unit (2009-2013), then he moved to the Iraqi Air Force (2013-2015), then his countryman Al-Mina (2015-2016), and from there to Al Dhafra.
