Galácticos

This three-episode documentary series chronicles Florentino Pérez’s Galáctico revolution at Real Madrid at the turn of the century. Featuring candid insights from a stellar lineup of Real Madrid legends—Iker Casillas, Roberto Carlos, Fernando Hierro, Claude Makélélé, Fernando Morientes, Steve McManaman—and manager Vicente del Bosque, alongside Pérez’s closest confidants, the program traces Real Madrid’s evolution under his leadership. It follows his ascent to the presidency, the controversial July 2000 acquisition of Luis Figo from rival Barcelona, and culminates with the resignation of his first term as Real Madrid president in February 2006, in the wake of the fallout from the Galáctico vision.
