Two titles in the first three seasons of the Indian Super League was something that befitted the team representing the birthplace of Indian football. The Kolkata representative, ATK, had a dream start, but the winner of the inaugural and the third editions was in for a rude shock as the honeymoon with its Spanish benefactor Atletico de Madrid ended after the third season.

This divorce of interests wreaked havoc in the fourth season with ATK finishing ninth in a cluster of 10 teams.

ATK has acted out of pragmatism in the new season (2018-2019) without the flamboyance it had sought to display previously.
