That is why before Saturday’s final, Mumbai City coach Sergio Lobera said: “Pep Guardiola and all family of CFG is behind us.” Prior to the start of the season, Lobera had said that he hadn’t received such support before. And it wasn’t a coincidence either that Mumbai City FC were champions in their first full season as a City Football Group (CFG) club. If Atletico de Kolkata won in 20 and made the semi-finals in 2015, it was in no small measure because of the support from part-owners Atletico Madrid. In three seasons including the one that ended on Saturday, that team was the champion. In four of the seven Indian Super League (ISL) seasons, at least one semi-finalist has been a team handheld by a European football power.
