I was too young to celebrate Mahindra United win it, I was never fortunate enough to see Mumbai FC reach the top. However, here we are. I can finally say, see and celebrate this. A MUMBAI CLUB IS CHAMPIONS OF INDIA. All my life I’ve waited for this. I love you @MumbaiCityFC ❤️

No shame in admitting they were the best team through the season. Like real champions turned things around at the business end after a slip up towards end of the season.#HeroISLFinal #LetsFootball #ISL
Mumbai City FC are the second team in ISL history to win the ISL Title after finishing top of the league. Peak Quality and Entertainment. Sergio Lobera and his men. Congratulations!#IndianFootball #HeroISL #ISL
