🎬 MovieFinder's Take

De la Iglesia's documentary portrait avoids chronological linearity, building a mosaic of memories and opinions. Archival match footage intertwines with intimate conversations where sports legends speak of Messi with almost paternal affection.

What lingers after viewing is not just a collection of facts, but an emotional study of solitude and genius. The film leaves you feeling you've touched something greater than sport—the story of a man who became a myth in his own lifetime. — MovieFinder Editorial
