  1. So proud of Götze. It was a social media rollercoaster when he was suddenly spotted in Eindhoven. The snackbar owner across the road posted on Twitter that he was at the stadium and everybody laughed at him, but that very night he turned up on club socials. Never imagined Götze would ever play for PSV, but I'm proud my club was able to help him get his career back on track. Great player and great guy.

  2. It’s right: Bayern has Qatar Airways as a sponsor but the fans hate it! For example they demonstrated at the famous „Jahreshauptversammlung“ last year…

  3. This is really enjoyable to watch, best episode so far. Funny, informative, interesting. The section with the piano music and shakey cameria was quite beautiful – and the former Captain of Eritrea showing up is absolute gold!

  4. Saw a documentary a couple of years ago which highlighted how Gotze and Schurrle had struggled after that injury time winner, really cool to see Mario pull his career around again.

  5. Lovely, lovely series. Would have loved if they asked/included a question about Abraham Tedros and if he, like many other Eritrean athletes/footballers defected from the country while on duty as a baller.

  6. Russia threatened, Qatar bribed openly and USA bribed in a name of donation.
    Prior and latter won’t be questioned simply because they’re…. Well, white. Racism exist and created by the same group of people who wants to be hailed as the champion of humanity.

  7. Happy to see him again and talk about his winning goal. So glad for him despite all the troubles he has had post-World Cup 2014.

  8. Really feel like this series would have benefitted from being released as one long video. So hard to keep up and stay invested over so many separate little chunks
