About the documentary

“LALIGA: All Access” leans heavily on F.C. Barcelona and, this time, the big star of the season – Real Madrid, is notably absent. Its players barely make an appearance in the documentary. Members from Atlético de Madrid including their coach, Simeone, and several players and coaches from LALIGA also partake in the documentary.

Football, they say, is played under intense pressure and all eyes, every match, are fixated on these 22 players.
