LaLiga going F1 way

And Netflix is going to be the best showcase to enjoy this journey behind the scenes of Spanish football. You will see the diversity and strength of LaLiga; the enormous bond between fans and their clubs; the pressure experienced by footballers and coaches beyond the matches.
“We wanted to humanize the athletes, talk to them about issues such as mental health, ageism, resurgence from failure, commitment to colors and a city. It has been a challenging, very enriching experience, impossible to carry out without the talent of the Morena team, the great complicity of all the clubs, and the involvement and trust of LaLiga itself.”
