However, the pressure will be equal on both sides while NorthEast FC is looking to break a record that has been held for 34 years, which is a side defending its Durand Cup trophy. The last side to do that was East Bengal, who won trophies in 1989,90, and 91. Their opponents, on the other hand, will have their opportunity to become the first team in the modern era to win the title in their debut season.
“Diamond Harbour have defeated East Bengal who were the favourites. I don’t think we are the favourites. It’s the final. In the final there are no good teams. There are no favourites in the final. This is a very psychological game. I think the team who is strong mentally will win the game,” said NorthEast United coach Juan Pedro Benali ahead of the game. On the other hand, Kibu Vicuna, coach of Diamond Harbour FC said: “We are playing with the champions who have a very good team. We are prepared but starting with humility. Pressure is a privilege. We don’t have additional pressure.”
