Mumbai City FC may have been eliminated in the group stage of the AFC Champions League, but the Islanders will come back home with their dignity intact. MCFC gave their best foot forward in Asia's premier club league to achieve something no other Indian football team has ever done.

On Monday, Mumbai City FC drew 0-0 with UAE's Al Jazira FC in an AFC Champions League 2022 group stage encounter at the King Fahd International Stadium. Mumbai is level on four points with Al Jazira and Iraq's Air Force Club, one point behind Saudi Arabia's Al Shabab football club.

Indian footballer and the skipper of the national team which featured in the FIFA U-17 Men's World Cup in 2017 has successfully completed his move to SC East Bengal on loan from FC Goa. The playmaker featured in 6 matches for the 'Gaurs' in the previous season including the AFC Champions League.

FC Goa head coach Juan Ferrando believes that his players are ready to play according to a new plan in the remaining group stage matches of the ongoing 2021 AFC Champions League. The ‘Gaurs’ have lost two and shared points in a similar number of games so far in the continental club competition.
