For several months, we have been giving you short information about the most interesting football films. Last time we have suggested you to watch Purely Belter, a British comedy drama film directed by Mark Herman about two teenagers trying to get money, by any means necessary, in order to get season tickets for home games of Premier League football team Newcastle United. This time we recommend you to watch a documentary which is called Take the Ball, Pass the Ball.

Take the Ball, Pass the Ball is a 2018 Spanish documentary film, released in 2018 and directed by Duncan McMath. The film mainly focuses on FC Barcelona’s success under manager Pep Guardiola from 2008 to 2012 where the team won a total of 14 trophies. The film is based on the book “Barça: The Making of the Greatest Team in the World” by football journalist Graham Hunter.

Take the Ball, Pass the Ball is the definitive story of the greatest football team ever assembled. For four explosive years Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona produced the greatest football in history, seducing fans around the world. In this exclusive, first-hand account of events between 2008 and 2012, the players themselves reveal the tension of the bitter GuardiolaMourinho rivalry, the emotion of Abidal’s fight back from cancer to lift the European Cup and how Messi, the best footballer the world’s ever seen, was almost rejected by Barça as a 13-year-old.
