FC Barcelona: A New Era

Visca barca y visca catalunya. What a show that shows what happens in my favorite club behind the scenes. It felt amazing seeing how things are running behind what the camera shows. As we all know barcelona are facing difficult times and I think that it's perfect that they made a documentary that shows what's happening so that the fans can see the atmosphere in the club during that time plus the potential rise of the club. A new era begins in this football club and I am here to witness it, both on the field and off the field through documentaries like this one. I hope they continue making these in the future.

I was exited about watching this doc on the struggles of the once night Barca but the footage is utterly ruined by the voices used to narrate the action. Genuinely sounds like they ran out of money and decided to pass the mics to a few drunken blokes in a pub and said "just do your best lads". As a result the drama of the footage is cheapened and ruined and I ended up turning the sound off and just reading the subtitles instead. Needed a voice of authority and gravitas on there to bring it to life. Perhaps it's reflective of Barcas's financial struggles these days.

It's almost comedic. Embarrassing.

No mistake is in this movie because it's for fc Barcelona and it's the best team in the world and also Barcelona has won a record 75 trophies: 26 La Liga, 31 Copa del Rey, thirteen Supercopa de España, three Copa Eva Duarte, and two Copa de la Liga titles, as well as being the record holder for the latter four competitions. In international club football, the club has won 22 European and worldwide titles: five UEFA Champions League titles, a record four UEFA Cup Winners' Cups, a joint record five UEFA Super Cups, a record three Inter-Cities Fairs Cups, a joint record two Latin Cups and three FIFA Club World Cups. Barcelona was ranked first in the International Federation of Football History & Statistics Club World Ranking for 1997, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2015, and occupies the sixth position on the UEFA club rankings as of July 2022. The club has a long-standing rivalry with Real Madrid, and matches between the two teams are referred to as El Clásico.

Barcelona is one of the most widely supported teams in the world, and the club has one of the largest social media following in the world among sports teams. Barcelona players have won a record twelve Ballon d'Or awards, with recipients including Johan Cruyff, as well as a record seven FIFA World Player of the Year awards, with winners including Romário, Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho. In 2010, three players who came through the club's youth academy (Lionel Messi, Andrés Iniesta and Xavi) were chosen as the three best players in the world in the FIFA Ballon d'Or awards, an unprecedented feat for players from the same football academy. Additionally, players representing the club have won a record eight European Golden Shoe awards.

The English voice overs make you want to do a poo. They are definitely not voice-over actors, someone has turned up to a 21st birthday party at 3am and recruited the biggest idiots there. It's almost as though the voice-over actors are taking the mick. The worst one was the one translating for Pedri and his family that were on the Skype call. I wish it was just subtitled instead, then it would have been a really good documentary. I still prefer the Arsenal and Tottenham series as it seemed much more intrusive and raw. I did wonder after a while, who on earth would want to be a president of a football club, it seems so stressful!
