Is pragmatism a necessary condition to win the ISL title?

Pragmatism has won over aesthetic football on most occasions in the ISL so far....

In 2009, Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona created history by becoming the first Spanish side to win a European treble. The very next year, Jose Mourinho repeated the feat with Inter. However, the style of plays of both the sides were highly contrasting. The Spaniard focused on the aesthetic aspects of the game and wanted to win while playing beautiful football. Mourinho adopted a more pragmatic approach and did what was needed to get over the line.

Which approach gets you the title in the Indian Super League (ISL)?
