Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola on Monday described sister club Mumbai City FC’s feat of topping the Indian Super League (ISL) points table and booking a spot in the AFC Champions League (ACL) as “an incredible achievement”.
On Sunday, Mumbai City defeated ATK Mohun Bagan 2-0 in the final league encounter of the ISL to win the League Winners Shield and book a place in the ACL for the next season.
“Congratulations to everyone. Incredible achievement. Big achievement for City Football Group. Congratulations to everyone, manager Lobera. Very happy,” tweeted Guardiola.
