D-Day is here. The final of the Indian Super League (ISL) season 2 begins in just some hours. FC Goa take on Chennaiyin FC in the grand finale of ISL 2015 on Sunday, 20 December, at the JLN Stadium in Fatorda, Goa.

Blood, sweat, and tears -- that is what it took for the teams to reach this position. After gruelling 14 matches in the league season within a span of just three months, FC Goa and Chennaiyin FC made it to the last four, along with Atletico de Kolkata and Delhi Dynamos. 

Kolkata and Delhi were outclassed in every department in the football pitch, and it were Goa and Chennai, who stood tall after the end of the ISL 2015 semi final.

The journey for both teams this year, has been sensational, to say the least. But now, the previous results don't matter anymore; the ISL 2015 final is a way different ball game. All eyes are now upon the two masterminds of the game -- Zico, head coach, FC Goa, and Marco Materazzi, head coach, Chennaiyin FC.

"I think for me, it's very important [to lift the ISL trophy]," FC Goa marquee player Lucio said in the pre-match press conference. "Past is past [referring to his previous triumphs]. I'm enjoying it and it's very important for me [winning the trophy].

"I think every game is history. Whoever keeps balance and plays good football will win," the World Cup winner with Brazil, added.

The Samba action in the ISL 2015 final will not be missed as both teams have a Brazilian star each in their midst as the marquee player. Chennaiyin FC also have former FIFA Confederations Cup winner with Brazil, Elano Blumer as their marquee player.

"Both the sides are dangerous and attacking. Concentrating more and making fewer mistakes will be decisive," Elano, also a former Manchester City man, said. "I'm very happy with what I have achieved in my career. With Chennai, I'm happy with what we have achieved so far, so for the final we'll try to do our best," the midfield maestro added.
