India beat Kuwait 5-4 on penalties in the final to clinch their ninth SAFF Championship title at the Sri Kanteerava Outdoor Stadium on Tuesday.

The 2023 SAFF Championship has been no exception and the prolific striker on Tuesday night led from the front, as he often does, as hosts India and Kuwait fought for glory in Bengaluru.

The Spaniard, who led Bangladesh to a first semifinal in the regional event for the first time in 14 years only to lose the last-four battle against Kuwait in extra time, said he was disappointed of the end result but proud of the performance from the charges.

Emiliano Martinez’s brief stopover in Dhaka yesterday created quite a buzz among the host of Argentina fans in the country, but also left people with a sense of disappointment due to the short nature of the visit and heavy security protocols.

The former Liverpool and England midfielder said last month he would not be taking up an offer to join the team. However, the 43-year-old has had a change of heart and becomes the latest big name to join the growing league.

There is no shame against losing to a superior team when the performance remains incredible enough to win the hearts of fans and neutrals alike. Bangladesh on Saturday reinforced that notion against Kuwait in the 2023 SAFF Championship semi-finals as Bishwanath Ghosh and teammates operated like warriors on the pitch. In an interview with Anisur Rahman of The Daily Star, the 24-year-old revisited his journey in the latest regional tournament, as a professional footballer and more. The excerpts are as follows:
