Bengaluru FC have always been an overachiever of sorts when it comes to I-League clubs. However, on Wednesday, the Blues achieved what no other club has ever done in the history of Indian football . Talking to HT about the importance of the victory, Bengaluru FC midfielder Eugeneson Lyngdoh said, “It is a great boost to Indian football – from the amateur level to the professional one. As a result, Indian football is stuck between two leagues that are neither a financial success nor a lucrative attraction for football fans around the country. Bengaluru FC, however, appears to be the welcome exception to the gloomy situation of football in India.
