"I have nothing but praise for ATK Mohun Bagan. The form is temporary in football. Sometimes you win; sometimes you lose. I've been on both sides myself. But, the one undeniable thing was tonight, the genuine class. And, that's led by coach Juan Ferrando. He's an outstanding coach. He's going to go on in future success. We knew this was going to be a challenging game. And it was, every moment, they challenged us in different ways. And, I've got wonderful players. But, that was a genuine touch of class when they remained at the end. They even stayed longer than probably anybody else would have, and a big thank you to them. They're going to be a big, big danger for anybody in the playoffs now. Because that's a top team, they've been on a good run, and they'll pick themselves up and go again," Coyle added during the post-match presser.
