Mohun Bagan crowned ISL champions
In front of 59,000 passionate fans at Kolkata's Salt Lake Stadium, Mohun Bagan Super Giant made history by lifting the ISL 2024-25 title. They became the first club to win an ISL final on home soil, preserving their unbeaten record at the iconic Yuva Bharati Krirangan. Jamie Maclaren struck a crucial extra-time goal to seal a 2-1 victory over Bengaluru FC. With this win, MBSG completed a remarkable double this season, having already secured the ISL League Shield.
