More than just the thrill of victory, the docuseries examines the camaraderie and team effort, laughter and moments of tension and the looming challenge during a campaign when many even in Spain saw France as the favorite. Spain went on to beat France in the World Cup semi-final with a stunning exhibition of control soccer.
The show also promises “spectacle, entertainment and closeness to understand the keys to a success built on competitive instinct and the relentless drive to improve a team that will be remembered for the what, and, above all, for the how.”
