Le Transfert du siècle: Et Figo changea de camp

If it wasn't tragic, it would be hilarious how Barcelona didn't learn anything from the Figo affair - and repeated the exact same story with Neymar.

As a documentary, this is really well done - shows the facts, using great archival footage, asks questions to all the actors involved, and gets answers from them. Who's lying and who doesn't? You can make up your own mind about that.

A truly great insight into the inner working of the tensions and corruption in the sport. Full of real archive footage and interviews with key figures.

Must see for any football fan / sports business manager.

Excellent score by Rival Consoles.

If you are a supporter of one of the 2 biggest clubs in your country (for me Feyenoord vs ajax), you feel the betrayal when a player goes to the arch-rival. This documentary gives an interesting look behind the scenes.

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.

I dont mind people making alot of money, but for me football is passion, and figo is just pure greed. Very good story about how some people really are.
