My dad who doesn't know the game much says ,
Bengaluru FC are playing well this season as Goals are coming frequently.... #BFCNEU
Me looking at our Defence 🥲
@Bhargav7i I think our Bengaluru fc will beat them at the moment.🤣
This shows how important are defenders nd midfielders are without them we will not see magic of Ronaldo or messi.
They could just save the team ass on some occasions.

Man Bengaluru FC fell off real bad. I still remember their first season in the ISL, they wouldn't even have a single miss pass. I used to be jealous of the way they played. Now they're only a shadow of their former selves 😐
