The documentary, which will be a film instead of a multi-part television series, will cover the ex-midfielder’s highly successful career at Barcelona and Spain. It will cast a light on his difficult beginnings at Barcelona’s academy La Masia, and will follow him through his breakthrough in the team and tremendous trophy-laden time at Camp Nou.
It will also focus on his victorious World Cup-winning goal for Spain in the 2010 final against the Netherlands, and into his journey with Vissel Kobe in Japan after he announced his departure from Barcelona.
Says Iniesta: “My story is the story of a person who tries to overcome any obstacle to be the best version of himself. It is a story about difficulties from an optimistic perspective and I hope people find inspiration in it.”
The film is also set to include several exclusive interviews with high-profile figures who have been part of Iniesta’s rise, including Lionel Messi, Pep Guardiola, Neymar, Xavi, Fernando Torres, Louis Van Gaal, Carles Puyol and more.
The project will be produced by Rakuten, in collaboration with Spanish production company Producciones del Barrio.
