Indian Super League side Mumbai City FC have returned from their pre-season camp in Spain, winning four matches, drawing two and losing just one against various club teams.
Based in Valencia during their 33-day sojourn, the entire squad under Costa Rican head coach Alexandre Guimaraes trained and prepared for the fourth edition of the ISL, starting in Kochi on November 17, a release from the franchise said.
Mumbai City FC begin their campaign against Bengaluru FC on November 19 at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium, Bengaluru.
"I am really happy with the way the team has shaped up," Guimaraes said.
"We played well in all the games and worked on getting combinations right. We have got the team in shape for the long season ahead and I feel we all set to take it up a notch higher this time around," he added.
Brazil's Thiago Santos, Spain's Rafa Jorda and Indian International Balwant Singh were the stars of the show, scoring two goals each.
