Mumbai City FC: Any top football team faces the challenge of staying motivated despite success. Mumbai City FC have begun their Indian Super League (ISL) Cup defense with a draw and a loss in their opening two games, however forward Vikram Partap Singh has stated that the team is more motivated to win the trophy than they were last time out.

“We are motivated more than last time. When you play for a club like Mumbai City FC you know you have to win. A draw is like a loss for us and everyone plays with this mentality,” Singh told IANS.

Vikram joined Mumbai City FC in October 2020 but had his breakout season under head coach Petr Kratky in the 2023/24 season. The 22-year-old forward played 20 games in the season in which he scored seven goals and provided eight assists. He then went on to score in the 91st-minute in the first leg of the semifinal vs FC Goa which saw his team win 3-2.
