One of the most successful Indian clubs this decade, Bengaluru FC are now presented with a stern challenge as they look to become the first side to defend an Indian Super League (ISL) title.
ATK (then Atletico de Kolkata) and Chennaiyin FC have both won the title twice but neither have successfully defended their crown. Bengaluru will be looking to create history after two successful years in the league.
Bengaluru topped the ISL table and made the finals in the last two editions of the tournament. The consistency shown by the newcomers remains unparalleled; No team had topped the table for two years running until Carles Cuadrat’s men achieved the feat.
