The Islanders who went into the 2021/22 season as the defending champions, did not have the best of campaigns as they only managed to finish fifth in the ISL table with 31 points from 20 games.
However, they bounced back from the disappointment and enjoyed a good AFC Champions League campaign as they created history by becoming the first Indian club to win an AFC Champions League (ACL) match, Asia’s premier club footballing competition.
They ended their AFC Champions League campaign with seven points from six games, finishing second in Group B.
