====Summary====

=====November=====
[[File:West Block Blues unfurling banner against Mumbai City FC.jpg|thumb|[[West Block Blues]] celebrating Bengaluru FC's participation in [[Indian Super League]].]]
Bengaluru made their [[Indian Super League|ISL]] debut against [[Mumbai City FC|Mumbai City]] on 19 November 2017 at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru. Roca handed starts to new foreign signings, [[Edu García]] and [[Miku (footballer)|Miku]]. Despite wonderful link up play between the forward duo of Chhetri and Miku, the hosts lacked finishing in the final third in the first half. There was hardly any opportunities created by Mumbai themselves as they chose to sit deep and Bengaluru dominated the game. In the second half, Bengaluru scored their first goal in ISL, courtesy a short corner routine, when Edu Garcia drilled one past former BFC man [[Amrinder Singh]] at the near post at the 67th minute. A defensive mix up in added time meant that Chhetri could get his name on the scoresheet and sealed a 2–0 victory for the blues.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.goal.com/en-in/match/bengaluru-v-mumbai-city/report/eiez7gtmt58nhn8q9ec3ex562|title=ISL 2017: Bengaluru FC 2–0 Mumbai City FC – Blues down Islanders in comfortable debut win|work=Goal.com|date=19 November 2017}}</ref> Bengaluru continued the form against [[Delhi Dynamos F.C.|Delhi Dynamos]], whom they defeated 4–1 with [[Erik Paartalu]] scoring a brace and [[Miku (footballer)|Miku]] scoring his first goal for the club.

In the action packed first half, [[Gurpreet Singh Sandhu]] was [[sent off]] and Bengaluru conceded three goals. With the team down to 10-men, Bengaluru managed to equalize score with Miku's brace at 3–3, but once Goa took the lead with [[Ferran Corominas|Coro]]'s hat-trick in 63rd minute, Bengaluru could not find an equalizer and tasted the first defeat of the season.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.goal.com/en-in/match/goa-v-bengaluru/ejyj38o1tlfmqb0tqywit0fai|title=ISL 2017: FC Goa 4–3 Bengaluru FC: Coro's hat-trick seals a thriller in Gaurs' favour|first=Anselm|last=Noronha|work=Goal.com|date=30 November 2017}}</ref>

Facing the crowded schedule ahead, Bengaluru FC chose to start without [[John Johnson (footballer)|John Johnson]] and [[Edu García]]. After lack of clear chances initially, Pune City took the lead from [[Adil Khan (footballer)|Adil Khan]]'s header. However, after Pune City's [[Baljit Sahni]] was sent-off after second yellow card, Bengaluru FC made the best of the situation and scored 3 goals in the second half with [[Miku (footballer)|Miku]] scoring a brace and [[Sunil Chhetri]] scoring the final goal of the game in stoppage time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.goal.com/en-in/match/pune-city-v-bengaluru/report/emgj0i3t55s7wpcaqgguqfgbu|title=ISL 2017: FC Pune City 1–3 Bengaluru FC: Miku brace fires visitors to the top of the league as Baljit Sahni sees red|date=14 December 2017|first=Ashish|last=Peter}}</ref> Bengaluru FC returned home against [[Chennaiyin FC|Chennaiyin]] on 17 December 2017.

Bengaluru FC faced [[Chennaiyin FC]] in [[2018 Indian Super League final|the final]], played at Bengaluru FC's home [[Sree Kanteerava Stadium]]. Owing to [[Subhasish Bose]]'s suspension, Bengaluru opted to play three at the back with [[John Johnson (footballer)|John Johnson]], [[Erik Paartalu]] and [[Juanan]] playing in the defence and [[Rahul Bheke]] and [[Boithang Haokip]] playing as wing backs.<ref name="subhashish suspension">{{cite web|url=http://www.goal.com/en-in/news/indian-super-league-final-three-man-defence-bengaluru-fc/1mpbiy7g73t3p1wz2ylvx4gb38|title=ISL Final: Three-man defence hasn't worked for Bengaluru FC|date=18 March 2018|first=Swapnaneel|last=Parasar}}</ref> Bengaluru took an early lead with [[Sunil Chhetri]] scoring a header from [[Udanta Singh]]'s assist in 9th minute. However, Chennaiyin quickly equalized via [[Maílson Alves]]'s header in 17th minute from a corner. Bengaluru FC suffered a double blow as [[Dimas Delgado]] had to be substituted just before the half time due to an injury and Maílson Alves scored the second goal just before the half time. Chennaiyin strengthened their lead as [[Raphael Augusto]] scored the third goal on the counter. Bengaluru FC's relentless attack in the dying minutes earned them a second goal by [[Miku (footballer)|Miku]], but Chennaiyin held on to the lead and emerged winner. The loss also ended Bengaluru FC's 15 match unbeaten streak across all tournaments and their first loss since their loss against [[Delhi Dynamos FC]] in January 2018.

Reacting to the defeat, [[Albert Roca]] said:<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.indiansuperleague.com/news/albert-roca-perhaps-i-made-a-mistake-in-the-final|title=Albert Roca: Perhaps I made a mistake in the final|date=17 March 2018|work=[[Indian Super League]]}}</ref>

{{cquote|To concede from set-pieces is always disappointing. I don’t blame the defence for this. It is my responsibility to change the system. But, I accept I made a mistake in the formation. Sometimes in football it is not the players who make the mistakes, but the coaches. And perhaps this time I made a mistake. I don’t think we felt pressure, but Mailson scoring from two corners made a big difference. In a few minutes, the game changed. In football, you need players with his kind of experience to rise to the situation.}}

Bengaluru FC competed in Group E alongside [[2016–17 I-League]] champions [[Aizawl F.C.]], [[2017 Dhivehi Premier League]] champions [[New Radiant S.C.]], and [[2017–18 Bangladesh Football Premier League|2017–18 Bangladesh Premier League]] champions [[Abahani Limited Dhaka|Dhaka Abahani]].

Bengaluru kicked off their campaign against [[Abahani Limited Dhaka|Dhaka Abahani]] on 14 March 2018. With upcoming [[2018 Indian Super League final|Indian Super League final]], Roca rested the key players and fielded the reserve side. [[Daniel Lalhlimpuia]]'s goal in the second half proved sufficient as Bengaluru won the game 1–0.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.goal.com/en-in/match/bengaluru-v-abahani/report/64croy0bfifx0vmpsihpeeb8q|title=AFC Cup 2018: Daniel dampens Abahani spirits as Bengaluru open Group E account with a win|first=Nisanth V|last=Easwar|work=Goal.com|date=14 March 2018}}</ref> Bengaluru's game against [[Aizawl F.C.]] was originally scheduled on the first match day, however it was postponed to 5 April due to scheduling conflicts with [[Indian Super League]] and [[I-League]] games. Aizawl took the early lead when they capitalized on the defensive lapse of Bengaluru. However, Bengaluru equalized when they were awarded a penalty just before the half-time. Bengaluru made the most of their possession in the second half and scored two more goals, in spite of missing a penalty, and registered 3–1 win.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.goal.com/en-in/news/afc-cup-2018-bengaluru-continue-their-winning-run-by-beating/1gj2umft97ww17ai5xhd6vlme|title=AFC Cup 2018: Bengaluru continue their winning run by beating Aizawl 3–1|first=Soham|last=Mukherjee|date=5 April 2018|work=Goal.com}}</ref> Bengaluru then faced [[New Radiant S.C.]] at home on 10 April 2018. Having rested many key players, Bengaluru failed to find many scoring opportunities and Roca was forced introduce [[Sunil Chhetri]] late in the second half and that turned out to be significant as Chhetri managed to shake off his marker in the dying minutes and created an assist to [[Nishu Kumar]] and Bengaluru won the close game 1–0.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.goal.com/en-in/match/bengaluru-v-new-radiant/report/8p1fv2knl1vzu0vfdr9q3ypuy|title=AFC Cup 2018: Nishu Kumar scores last-gasp winner to place Bengaluru FC in driving seat|first=Nisanth V|last=Easwar|date=10 April 2018|work=Goal.com}}</ref>

Bengaluru FC faced yet another I-League side and rival [[East Bengal F.C.]] in the final. East Bengal drew the first blood when [[Ansumana Kromah]] scored a goal from the corner kick, but East Bengal were reduced to 10-men before the half time when [[Samad Ali Mallick]] was sent-off for the violent conduct. Bengaluru dominated the proceedings in the second half as they scored four goals, a brace from [[Sunil Chhetri]] and a goal each from [[Miku (footballer)|Miku]] and [[Rahul Bheke]], and won the inaugural Super Cup 4–1. Super Cup also marked Bengaluru FC's fifth trophy in as many years.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.goal.com/en-in/match/east-bengal-v-bengaluru/report/49qin56qcjcdc5reii52zlq3u|title=Super Cup 2018 Final: Bengaluru ease past East Bengal to register emphatic victory|first=Ritabrata|last=Banerjee|date=20 April 2018|work=Goal.com}}</ref>
