Bengaluru FC is not just a club, it is a family; this might be the best way to put it. The players, the management and the fans have all brought a sense of unity which has pushed the players on the field.
When Bengaluru FC did not have good games and needed picking up, it was the team spirit that brought them back on track.
For the team's AFC semi-final game against Johor Darul Ta'zim, Bengaluru FC asked India – including rival clubs and fans – to unite and help them get past the Malaysian club. The Blues considered Wednesday's achievement as an achievement of Indian football as a whole, instead of keeping this magnificent achievement it to themselves.
