One of the great nights in my career also. The atmosphere, the build up. And when Chhetri scored the second, Naveen Peter stood at the press box, arms aloft, screaming 'maar diya, maar diya'!!
To relive this day and many others of @bengalurufc, check out the book Out of the Blue: Bengaluru FC's 10-Year Odyssey.

Ten years on from a night that will never die. 🥹
Under the lights, against the odds, the Blues wrote their names into the history books. You simply had to be there! 💫

Naveen was one of the happiest souls I’ve known, and the world is a little less kind without him in it. Please let's honour him and come together to support his family through this incredibly difficult time. Every bit of kindness matters.

Delighted to have hosted a panel on Indian football and sports at the Read A Kitaab Literature Festival at Atta Galatta, Bengaluru, alongside Sharda Ugra and @SandynoneM. We explored politics, sexism and more, beginning with Sandeep’s brilliant book Sacred Grounds

Great start to the new #MGISL.
Exciting game, good crowd, very hopeful numbers on YouTube as well.
Long may it continue #Indianfootball
Thank you @bengalurufc for the tribute to Naveen in today's matchday programme.
A great gesture from the club.
Thanks @aakashvinay17 and @kunmajgaonkar
Means a lot!

The BFC family is deeply saddened to hear about the untimely passing of sports journalist Naveen Peter.
A warm individual who dedicated his career to celebrating Indian sports with unmatched passion, he told the stories of our club extensively from its early days, with a smile on his face.
Rest in peace, Naveen. 🕊️

We have no more words today.
Wish we could have had one last pod together.
@peterspeaking forever.

We mourn the untimely passing of @peterspeaking, a passionate sports journalist and a true lover of football 💔
You leave behind stories, memories and a football community that will miss your voice and warmth dearly.
Rest easy, Naveen. The game you loved will remember you.
I was going to go with five friends.
With these prices everyone has decided against it.
Unbelievable
Sorry Akash, you might have to be disappointed.
At ₹2,999 for the West Block, we can’t promise the atmosphere.
Can’t promise the banners.
Can’t promise the chants.
At these prices, we can probably promise an empty stadium.
Well played, @IndianFootball 👏

Took 4 years but all the way from the grassroots to playing at a West Asian club.
We had a dream and we did it @dlast1_standing .
I can't tell you what this means but I'm so proud of you. ❤️
Go conquer the world.

Special report: how the Premier League is risking a "big short" moment as huge proportion of window propped up with private credit
The day's most relevant headlines may have been bond yields
“A credit challenge is coming. The game should be worried.”
