'We deserve this season' - Mumbai City's Sergio Lobera thriving under pressure as ISL final looms

Mumbai City are vying for their maiden ISL trophy when they face ATK Mohun Bagan in the final of ISL season 7

It's a momentous occasion for Sergio Lobera when he leads Mumbai City into the club's first ever Indian Super League (ISL) final on Saturday. It is his second ISL final a manager after earlier leading FC Goa to a runners-up finish in season 5 of the ISL.

Mumbai City finished top of the league phase and won the League Winners Shield after defeating ATK Mohun Bagan, who incidentally are their opponents on Saturday. In fact, they did the double over ATK Mohun Bagan this season with the superior head-to-head record helping them win the shield despite both teams finishing the league with 40 points.
