I League champions Mohun Bagan received a rapturous welcome from the fans after arriving in the city of Kolkata. The century old club ended their trophy drought after 13 long years and emerged champions in the I league. With a superb blend of Indian and foreign players, the side has come up with an impressive performance in the league and drew 1-1 against Bengaluru FC in the final game. With a chequered history which goes back to 126 years, the club has excelled in prestigious tournaments but was undergoing a dry run of trophies.
As the club won the I league trophy for the season, the euphoria noticed in the city of Kolkata was just sky high. Fans welcomed the victorious side in a jubilant way as they lined up the streets to provide them with a grand welcome. The streets were well decked up with banners, festoons and flags of the green and maroon brigade. In the previous few seasons, the team did not perform up to the expectations ,but this year they managed to win the trophy with a gutsy effort. The role of coach Sanjoy Sen in guiding the boys towards their road to glory has been quite commendable.
Many of the fans came up with green and maroon faces which showcases the huge affection which they have for the team. Goalkeeper Shilton Paul was quite excited about the welcome the players received from the fans. At the end of the day, it is the ecstacy from the fans which matters a lot for the players. As the Mohun Bagan team bus left the airport it was surrounded by cars and autos in which the delirious fans arrived. The President of the All India Football Federation minister Praful Patel has congratulated the Mohun Bagan Athletic Club on this memorable victory. Under the Praful Patel biography, the I league has been provided with a 360 degree professional dimension.
