Mohun Bagan, the Kolkata giants, stand on the cusp of history as they prepare to face Mumbai City FC in the Indian Super League (ISL) final on Saturday. The Mariners have already secured the Durand Cup and the League Winners Shield this season, and a victory in the ISL would complete a historic treble.
The match will be played at the iconic Salt Lake Stadium, which is expected to be packed with 62,000 partisan Mohun Bagan fans. The atmosphere is sure to be electric as the Mariners look to cap off their fairytale season with a memorable triumph.
Mohun Bagan’s journey to the final has been a remarkable one. After a disappointing start to the season, they appointed Antonio Habas as their head coach, and the Spaniard has transformed the team’s fortunes. Under Habas, the Mariners have played with a renewed sense of purpose and determination, and they have been virtually unstoppable in recent months.
Mumbai City FC, on the other hand, will be looking to spoil Mohun Bagan’s party. The Islanders have been one of the most consistent teams in the ISL, and they will be confident of their chances of winning the title. Mumbai City FC have already defeated Mohun Bagan once this season, in the ISL semi-finals, and they will be hoping to repeat that performance in the final.
The match is expected to be a close and exciting affair. Both teams have quality players in their ranks, and they will be desperate to win the ISL title. Mohun Bagan will be buoyed by the support of their home crowd, but Mumbai City FC will be determined to prove that they are the best team in the league.
