Over the years, the quality of content that Netflix Presents to its subscribers has been the topic of many debates. Many believe the streamer goes for binge-worthy teen dramas and does not create quality content like other studios. But whatever side you agree with, no one can deny that Netflix has some of the best documentaries out there. They vary in subjects and times, from sports to true crime dramas. And adding to the splendid list of documentaries is a new film about ex-Real Madrid player Luis Figo.

<h2>Louis Figo gets a documentary about his transfer to Real Madrid</h2>
Netflix announced on August 18th that it would release a documentary 22 years after the famous incident that delves into Luis Figo&#8217;s historic and contentious move from Barcelona to Real Madrid. The entire narrative of Figo&#8217;s move is fascinating, and witnessing a documentary in which key participants in the process speak should be intriguing. The documentary is set to debut on August 25th, and both presidents at the time, Florentino Perez and Joan Gaspart, as well as Figo himself, are anticipated to comment.

<h3>A brief history of the controversial deal</h3>
Figo is one of the rare football players to have played for both Barcelona and Real Madrid in Spain. His controversial move from Barcelona to fierce rivals Real Madrid in 2000 set a world record value of $63 Million.
