"We have created history here"- Mumbai City FC head coach speaking ahead of his side's final group game against Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya

Mumbai City FC will lock horns with Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya (Air Force Club) in their final Group B game in the AFC Champions League at the King Fahd International Stadium, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Tuesday (IST: Wednesday).

The Islanders will be looking to recover from their 0-6 shocker against Al-Shabab FC in their last game. The team has had a win in this competition and that came against the Air Force Club.

Head coach Des Buckingham and defender Rahul Bheke addressed the media ahead of their final group game against the Iraqi giants. The Islanders' coach stated that his team was making history. He said:

"We have created history here by doing something that hasn't been done before. We had a good three rounds where we could show what Indian football could do at this stage."

Speaking about the side's preparations for this clash, the English football coach said:

"We had two days of recovery. We'll have a session this evening to get ready for what will hopefully be a good finish to this tournament for us. We are going to do as well as we can."
