Mumbai City FC head coach Petr Kratky has played down concerns of facing a capacity crowd at the Salt Lake Stadium against the Mohun Bagan Super Giant (MBSG) in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2023-24 final on Saturday. Kratky, whose team lost the title decider on this ground  2-1 against the Mariners last month, is confident of recovering from that loss to emerge as the ISL Cup winners.

“Our players are all used to playing in front of full stadiums. In fact, it gives us extra motivation to do well, because that’s why we play football. We can’t wait to play football our way, and if we focus on winning the game, everyone will enjoy it. I don’t think there’s extra pressure here. If anything, we are going to enjoy the moment,” Kratky said in the pre-match press conference.
