Mohun Bagan
started the season well after winning the Durand Cup as well as starting the
AFC Cup campaign with well drilled victories, they also started their league
campaign with an absolute boom and became the first side to win first 5 matches
of the league , but bad times were soon to follow as they crashed out of the
AFC Cup , lost 3 league matches in a row and also bowed out of the Super cup,
but soon to steady the sail of the ship , Captain Antonio Lopez Habas was
welcomed onboard , who not only steady the ship , he made Mariners the ISL
league shield champions , breaking many records on it’s way to the top.
15th
April, 2024 was the last date, when these two goliaths of Indian Football
collided in an thrilling encounter, to decide the ISL league Shield champions ,
where Mohun Bagan came out on top thanks to goals from Liston Colaco and Jason
Cummings and secured the Mariners’ qualification for the first ever edition of
AFC Champions League 2.

Indian Football fraternity will be excited to
see the giants again collide, this time with ISL cup on the line. Mariners’ ,
who are the defending champions , will be eager to add a second ISL trophy to
their cabinet and become the first side to defend the ISL cup and the second
ever side to complete the ISL double, other than that, Mohun Bagan are also on
the Verge of completing the domestic treble. Mumbai City FC on the other hand
will be eager to get hands on the trophy to cap off a wonderful season , under their new coach
Petr Kratky.
In the
recent history of Indian Football , these two sides have been major powerhouses
in Indian Football , with multiple trophies to show for that. Tactically and
Technically , these two sides are far superior from any other sides in the ISL.
So, anyone can expect a cagey and tactical display of football on the Saturday night
final at the VYBK. In Bengali , we have a proverb that goes like - “ যার সব ভালো তার শেষ ভালো ” that literally translates to – “
what goes well will end well ” , hoping for an exciting football match and
shall the better one prevails.
We are here to defend what’s ours! 👊#MBSG #JoyMohunBagan #আমরাসবুজমেরুন #ISL10 pic.twitter.com/cNXXK6Da1o
