Three penalty kicks, three goals from the Australian as the Mariners win the Indian Super League title. Petratos replaced Roy Krishna as ATKMB’s No. 9 and that choice looks to have finally paid off.

Obviously, disappointing. Still, very proud of the team by the way we showed character. Congratulations to ATK Mohun Bagan for winning the t eam. We just wanna make sure to take the good memories and positives from this season and move on.

I can’t be any more proud of the players. The way they have fought through this season was fantastic.

The game was a bit cagey to be fair. They were probably better in the first half but to be fair, we caught well enough. We know we could have played better, the heat, the conditions but that’s football and I couldn’t be more proud.

The title is very very special given the way we started. It was a team effort -- 120 minutes and a great job done.

I am very happy. It is one family. Now everybody is happy but behind them are (supportive) families that have missed holi and diwali. With injuries, the season was difficult but the players continues to perform throughout the season and it feels fantastic.

It was a tough game. But we fought toi the end and you saw how much it meant for us. We’re here today and we are champions. It was good. I’ll enjoy this moment now, have good break and come back for the next season.
