Manipur’s Dheeraj Singh Moirangthem has become the first Indian to be included in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League Team of the season after his impressive performance with FC Goa earlier this year.
FC Goa was the first Indian club to have taken part in the group stages of AFC champions League with some stirring performances. The Gaurs drew three and lost several matches but managed to keep two clean sheets during the campaign.
