June 07, (THEWILL) – Apple TV+ announced on Tuesday, the upcoming release of a captivating four-part documentary series chronicling the life of Lionel Messi, the revered captain of Argentina’s national football team and a World Cup champion.
The streaming platform promised an unparalleled insight into the football superstar’s journey, with exclusive behind-the-scenes access. Messi, who demonstrated his extraordinary talent by scoring an impressive seven goals during Argentina’s triumphant World Cup campaign in Qatar last December, will recount his remarkable career in his own words.
According to Apple TV+, the documentary will provide an intimate portrayal of Messi’s relentless pursuit of a World Cup victory that would solidify his legacy. The series, produced by Smuggler Entertainment and filmed across various locations including Paris, Qatar, and Argentina, is yet to announce its broadcast date.
Viewers can expect a comprehensive exploration of Messi’s international tenure, commencing with his debut for the Argentine national team in 2005, marked by a red card just two minutes after coming on as a substitute, and encompassing the heartbreak of Argentina’s defeat in the 2014 World Cup final. The documentary will culminate in the pinnacle of Messi’s career, capturing the moment when the seven-time Ballon d’Or recipient lifted football’s most coveted prize at his fifth World Cup.
After bidding farewell to Paris Saint-Germain earlier this month, where he notched an impressive tally of 32 goals in 75 appearances and secured two Ligue 1 titles, the 35-year-old football icon has yet to disclose his future club destination.
