Entertaining with a lot of close-up shots

At some point in your life, if you are a Football fan, you probably heard about Figo and this epic transfer/moment but here's a chance to go back in time and understand how this transfer changed Modern Football.

This documentary, gives you testimonials from everyone involved with the decision but in the end, does not give you answers. "Why? Who? When?" It kinda creates a void you didn't knew you had and then doesn't fill it.

It does feel like this could easily been done and achieved in 30minutes but for some reason, takes almost two hours.

I was expecting more when I saw how long it was (Even Borat takes less time than this).

If you are not a Football fan, it's still interesting as it explains parts of Spanish history and Football rivalries.

The yays:

  • Epic transfer that speaks for itself.


  • The way it shows how the press was and is a big key in Football transfers.


  • Some old footage that was well placed and edited that makes you go back in time.


  • Paulo Futre. Legend and just survived a heart attack!


Not so much:
  • Time spent looking at people's faces... Honestly.


  • Can't help but feel like this could've been easily done in half or even less the time it took.


  • Not showcasing what Figo accomplished in Real vs. The downfall of Barcelona. Just a few lines saying oh this happened and that happened.

What Would You Do if It Were You ?

I've never been a football fan. I started watching football very late and stopped after watching it for about 10 years. I don't watch more than 15 years. Football is not as fun as it used to be, in my opinion. One of the best players of the footbal was Figo.. When I started watching football, Figo was already playing for Real Madrid and the team at that time was great. Later I learned that Figo transferred from Barcelona. At the time, I didn't know how big of a deal it was. Yes, it was a huge transfer and one of the most interesting and sounding transfer in football history. I've never researched it deeply. It wasn't interesting to me, but I saw and watched this Spanish documentary on Netflix. It was interesting. It was interesting to see each person speaking their own truth. I didn't understand how Barcelona fans were spewing so much hate. Football can be toxic sometimes. Frankly, I loved watching Fenerbahce, Barcelona and Liverpool while watching football and I think I was fan of these 3 clubs. Yes, the same thing happened between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray. Emre Belezoglu. But I couldn't understand. Traitor? No. For example, you can ask me, how would you react if Alex de Souza was transferred from Fenerbahce to Galatasaray? I would be upset. I'd be pissed, but if I was in the football arena, I wouldn't have thrown anything at him. Max. I would shout "yuuuuu". But I wouldn't give hate speech to his family. I never liked or understood this side of football. Why do people worship a team like a religion? What would you do if it were you?

As a documentary, it satisfied me. It was an interesting documentary. I haven't watched football or anything related to football for a long time.

A lot of hype for nothing

So they build up suggesting that something huge will happen. And in the end, nothing happens. The whistle blows and game's over.

Figo is clearly a liar and not so bright person. He messes up and tried to cheat everyone on his path. So muh excuses and explanations but no honest talk at all.

So all this hype for a football trade, wow. I get that it's a sport document and it also sides about other stuff going on back then, but when the main focus is on so meaningless mess up, it's really weak.

Maybe someone to Barcelona this might be interesting, but doubt that there's anything useful to them either.
