Manchester City: La conquista del triplete

If you want a really good Man City documentary, watch Together on their youtube channel for free.

They tried to recapture the magic, but the first two episodes are unwatchable, it's pointless marketing nonsense, there's very little understanding or appreciation for the game or the talent that goes in. This feels like it was made by the marketing department, no one else.

The worst of it is that they are trying to make everyone like it, and the result is just bland. It's not horrible, but as a fan of the game, I really don't want to listen to some journalist explaining what Champion's League is for a full minute.

All the things that worked in the original are out of tune here. That was a proper documentary, although it's on Youtube.

At first, this feels like content. Well-made and well-polished, but still just lifeless content, not a documentary.

Around the third episode, they tone down the nonsense and get back to football. There are still issues, there's still commentary from the two "reporters" who get plenty of airtime to say absolutely nothing of substance, but it's a mild annoyance.

The rest is about the football, the team, Pep's talks - all the things I loved about the original Together.

I'm a Chelsea fan, but I always love these types of shows and documentaries. The chemistry between the players and the staff elevates the series and Pep is a mastermind. He is such a character. The final episode is incredible and more in depth than the others because it focuses on the champions league final. Not to say the rest of the show isn't, but the finale was on the next level. Would've loved to see some more speeches from Pep, but maybe the all or nothing show has that (haven't seen it yet). I truly hope more of these come out because we need more behind the scenes footage and coverage of all the comps.

"Together: Treble Winners" encapsulates the highs and lows of a historic football season as the team clinches the Champions League, Premier League, and FA Cup. With gripping footage and personal interviews, the documentary showcases the team's resilience, dedication, and unwavering spirit. It's a celebration of triumph over adversity and the enduring magic of football.

What sets this documentary apart is its ability to showcase the human side of sport. Beyond the trophies and accolades, the documentary highlights the personal sacrifices, moments of doubt, and sheer determination that shaped the team's journey to glory. It's a testament to the power of teamwork, perseverance, and the unbreakable bond shared by those who live and breathe the beautiful game.

A truly remarkable documentary.

As Episode 1 of "Together: TR3BLE Winners" (2024 release; 6 episodes ranging between 42 and 48 min) opens, it is "24 May 2022" as Haaland makes a decision which team he will join, and the choice is Manchester City. We then go to "22 August 2022" as Pep addresses the players about the upcoming season's challenges and opportunities... At this point we are less than 10 minutes into Episode 1.

Couple of comments: this mini-series is aimed primarily at ManCity fans, to (re)celebrate and remember the extraordinary season that was 22-23. ManCity has fans around the world, and I venture to say that most of them will never have a chance to see the team play live (living in the US, I am one of them--although I did tour the Etihad Stadium in September, 2019). The best bits of this mini-series are the "behind closed doors" scenes. Watch how Pep addresses his players both in great moments (after trashing ManUnited 6-3: "You were brilliant but I push you yo be more perfect") and in low moments (after 2-0 to a low-ranked Southampton that would soon be relegated). In fact I would say that Pep is the central figure of the entire mini=series, and to see him at work is worth every minute of this mini-series. There are also a lot of fun scenes among the players (watch Halland make fun of KDB's fashion sense, to which KDB responds "I don't care"). Perhaps the biggest surprise for me was that the one player who shows the most leadership is not KDB, or Halland, or Silva. No, it is in fact Rodri, who time and again steps up in the locker room addressing his teammates.

"Together: TR3BLE Winners" recently started streaming on Netflix, just as the Premier League, the FA Cup, and the Champions League of 23-24 are "rounding third and heading for home". ManCity is still battling on all three fronts again this year. Can they pull off another treble? If you are a ManCity fan, I'd readily suggest you check this out and draw your own conclusion. If you are a football fan but not a Cityzens supporter, I'd give it a shot with the 1st episode and see if you can warm up for it. I'll be honest, if this was a mini-series about Arsenal or Liverpool, I'd pass...

It's not as good as arsenals all or nothing or city's first one because its super uninteresting.

The choreography is great, the pep parts are good. Grealish was fun to watch with his charity work and his background. And that's pretty much it

I think the viewers witnessed 1 percent of what goes , and the tactics and the real treble winning mentality is not shown to us. Most of the episodes are how players spend their free time and it's like the most boring thing to watch (yes I know footballers are humans). The part of a documentary is to show viewers what they don't know and I'm pretty sure all of the viewers learnt absolutely nothing that they didn't know after watching.

The vital parts of the season like Cancelos drama wasn't shown ( which i understand as it can be unprofessional but it's a documentary you have to include that and arsenal did that with Cedric and lacazette), pep switching formations and stones switching positions. The documentary does none of that and instead shows the matches, the training, and the post match team talk.

This is a documentary where you have to know the context of most of it before watching, which I think is a crime against all documentaries.

All of that isn't as bad as how much footage Bernardo Silva got in this documentary, his voice makes the X button in the top right of my screen look so good and we really don't want to see him hang out with his dog.

Overall this is the worst out of the bunch, they did it better in 2018 when Bernardo wasn't shown as much and we had interesting figures like kompany and Aguero, and how pep adapted to the league after an underwhelming season.
