It might feel biased towards some of the actors in the big story and regardless the fact that UEFA is not perfect and have actually many issues the reality is clear and the ESL is a very dodgy project which only interest is to rescue the unsustainable business model of three clubs. The series is very good fun to watch, it has lots of drama and reveal details that where not available in the media during the car crash. And at the end it just shows how greedy the whole football institution is around the world. This is no about the game, this is not about the community. It is a power game but I personally I much rather be on Uefa's side than on the corrupt Mr perez.

History is written by the winners as they say.

I do feel this is more political documentary in favor of UFEA than an impartial approach.

I was not a fan of the super league and believe in the big clubs paying it down to grass roots. I'm glad the fans won, not UFEA as it does feel like they have monopoly. Fair play is a joke and them controlling and being their regulators is a bit crazy.

I do respect a lot of the people in the program that stood up to stop it and thank them, whatever their motivation.

It's an ok documentary, but leaves you with a lot of questions. It's worth a watch, but go in with an open mind as it does try to sway you each way as it goes along.

It's also missing some rather important interviews and data.

This documentary is basically a paid promotion to UEFA.

You get a basic idea about that happened, but you always feel that what you are seeing is just a love letter to UEFA and not what real happened.

Never forget that when you spell UEFA with just one word you write corruption and all of this supposed "war" was just to keep the corruption going on a bit longer.

When someone claims they were betrayed and next explained they did the exact same thing they are complaining about they lose all the credibility.

This was a lost opportunity to explain what really happened since you only get to see one side. Not that the documentary doesn't show "the other side", because you get to meet a few people who fought against UEFA but they almost don't get to expose their side and they are surrounded by people trying to change your point of view so that you see them as "the bad guys".

Well, history is written by its winners and this is just another example of that. In the end football lost and UEFA got to keep the corruption system in place.

A good documentary shows both sides and leaves room for the grey between black and white. That's not the case.

The formation of a super league has some merit. In the USA all major sports are organized in super leagues, F1 is a super league, so it can't be all bad. The actual reason UEFA (or Ceferin) is against the plan, isn't because they have the noble, everlasting spirit of soccer in mind. The moment the SL starts, UEFA will lose all power and will face bankruptcy because UEFA's main cash cow, the Champions League will be doomed without the major clubs.

The past years UEFA's course was one of pleasing the few big clubs in favor of the many smaller ones. Their permanent objective: to be wealthier and more powerful than FIFA. In that struggle all is allowed and UEFA sold his soul to the gods of capitalism many times. This kind of nuance is lost in this series and that makes it a well made commercial.
