\"ATKKolkata: Atletico de Kolkata <\/a>(ATK) co-owner Sanjiv Goenka on Monday said his Indian Super League<\/a> (ISL) football franchise is more popular than any other team in the city.<\/p>\n

ATK won the title for the second time in three years beating Kerala Blasters on penalties in Kochi on Sunday.<\/p>\n

“Have you ever seen such frenzy? ATK is probably much more popular than any other team in Kolkata,” Goenka told reporters at a city shopping mall where the side brought the trophy.<\/p>\n

“Every city has one team then why should Kolkata have two teams,” wondered Goenka who has always publicly opposed the proposed merger of the ISL and the I-League, where the city’s two traditional football giants Mohun Bagan and East Bengal participate.<\/p>\n

Asked whether he has any fear if the more traditional outfits East Bengal and Mohun Bagan were to come in ISL, Goenka showed a video of the fans celebrating in Kochi on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

“I don’t have any fear. What will happen if two teams from Kolkata get to the final or one team makes it? Today, Kolkata has won. The feeling won’t be the same.”<\/p>\n

Goenka also has stakes in Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket franchise Rising Pune Supergiants. Asked about his preference, he said: “ISL has given us more success. IPL is more popular.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
