What to expect from Messi’s World Cup: The Rise of a Legend?
Lionel Messi is a beloved player with fans from all over the world. When he won the soccer World Cup with Argentina in 2022, he won the ultimate trophy he had been chasing all his career.
His journey to win the World Cup was full of criticism, heartbreak, and hard work. Messi had already won major trophies throughout his career; he won league titles with F.C. Barcelona and PSG F.C., European trophies with Barcelona, and Copa America with Argentina. However, losing a World Cup final with Argentina in 2014 weighed heavy on the player.
The upcoming documentary chronicles the journey across five world cups as Argentina and Lionel Messi finally got their hands on the all-important trophy. The official synopsis of the upcoming documentary miniseries reads,
"Follow the legend's epic journey through five World Cups, culminating in 2022's triumph. As the championship run unfolds, Messi shares some of his most personal reflections-on his national team career and the challenges he's faced."
The documentary features never-seen-before interviews and footage featuring Messi, Angel Di Maria, Sergio Aguero, and other players from the Argentina National soccer team.
Stay tuned for the release of Messi's World Cup: The Rise of a Legend on February 21, 2024, on Apple TV+.
