The former East Bengal goalkeeper has played a number of matches in the cup competition last season and also started a league game in May this year, thus becoming the first player to start in a top European league . Sandhu who joined the Norwegian side in 2014 plays as Goalkeeper.
This is a big forward stride for Indian football and let’s hope that soon we will see more players in top competition, Let’s hope for a day when UEFA Champions league fate is decided by Indian players playing at the top Clubs.
