Mohun Bagan vs Bengaluru FC ISL Today: Check When and Where to Watch Sunil Chhetri in Action, Positive and More
MBSG topped the regular season and retained ISL League champion Shield, becoming the only team in ISL history to do so. However, their journey to the finals was not going well. After losing 2-1 in the first leg against Jamshedpur FC in the semifinals, the sailors coached by Jose Molina bounced strongly on the return trip to book their final spot.
Bengaluru FC, led by Gerard Zaragoza, ranked third in the regular season and had to go a long way to reach the final. The Blues defeated Mumbai City Football Club for the first time in the playoffs before defeating FC Goa 3-2 in the semi-finals. The highlight is Sunil Chhetri’s shutdown target, which has been in excellent form this season.
With Mohun Bagan playing higher in the regular season, they hosted the finals at their home court, which is a potential advantage as they aim to regain the crown in front of a crowded Salt Lake Stadium.
