Messi Documentary 'The Pursuit of Perfection': Retrospection of National Team Career

On June 9th, it was announced that Messi has officially joined the United States' Miami International Club. The club, owned by David Beckham, reportedly offered Messi an annual salary of 50 million euros (approximately 380 million RMB) along with club shares and sponsorship agreements with Apple and Adidas.

Due to the collaboration between Apple TV+ and the Miami International Club, Messi will also benefit from the partnership.

Furthermore, Apple TV+ announced the production of a documentary film about Messi, which will primarily focus on his career as the captain of the Argentina World Cup-winning team. The documentary will consist of four episodes.

According to the official statement, the film will feature self-narration by Messi as he looks back on his professional career with the Argentina national football team. It will provide an unprecedented perspective, exploring his unwavering pursuit of World Cup victory. The documentary will delve into his experiences participating in five World Cups and ultimately achieving victory in the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

Audiences will have the opportunity to witness exclusive behind-the-scenes content, including his time on the training grounds in Qatar, media conferences, and insights into his personal life. It is touted as the 'most intimate interview with Messi to date.' The film will also revisit significant moments, such as Messi receiving a red card in the first minute of his debut match with the Argentina national team and his early retirement in 2016, followed by his comeback and subsequent World Cup triumph.

The official release date for the documentary has not been announced by Apple, but it has been confirmed that Smuggler Entertainment will produce the film, with filming taking place in Paris, Qatar, and Argentina.
