MBSG vs BFC, ISL 2024-25 Final: League winners Mohun Bagan will fancy their chances of completing a double notwithstanding the challenge staring at them in the form of a formidable Bengaluru FC side in the final of the ISL Cup here on Saturday.

The match will be played at MBSG's fortress Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan (VYBK) with a packed stadium rooting for them, but BFC remains unperturbed as they head into what is expected to be a blockbuster clash.

Mohun Bagan Super Giant coach Jose Molina spoke about not caring about what happened in the past, while BFC gaffer Gerard Zaragoza and captain Gurpreet Singh Sandhu called Kolkata a second home.

MBSG are the League Shield Winners, whereas Bengaluru FC finished third in the standings and then cruised past the challenges that fronted them in the eliminator and semi-final to make it to the summit clash.

It is the fourth ISL finals appearance for BFC in just eight seasons, while MBSG have become the first team to reach this stage three successive times.

This fixture is an encore of the ISL 2022-23 showdown, when both these sides clashed in the season finale, with the Kolkata-based team emerging triumphant via penalties in a very tight contest.
