Netflix has perfected its recipe when it comes to making documentaries. With just the right amount of cinematic shots, exclusive interviews, and unheard tales, the streaming giant delves into diverse topics that captivate readers worldwide. Therefore, with every intriguing phenomenon that takes place across the globe, fans await the OTT mogul to cook it up into an elaborate and enjoyable documentary. But as Netflix faces tough competition, fans think a Cristiano Ronaldo Netflix documentary will give it just the boost it needs.

The enigmatic journey of football icon Cristiano Ronaldo against all odds to rise to global prominence is the stuff of a filmmaker’s dream. His fans have always believed that it is just a matter of time before a big studio uses his ethereal journey to weave it into a blockbuster cinematic hit. Therefore, when a Netflix poster featuring Cristiano Ronaldo paired with a caption about a Netflix series based on his life releasing on July 2025 surfaced on Facebook, happiness knew no bounds for the football player’s fans.

The poster starred a crisp Ronaldo in a military uniform. But before the supposed mini-series could trace back to the football icon’s youth days, its poster was traced back to being AI-generated. This is not the first time fans of the Al Nasr FC player have fallen victim to an AI-generated poster of their icon. Just a few days ago, they found themselves gearing up to see him lead the Terminator franchise.

The AI-generated poster’s caption noted that the mini-series will be releasing in July 2025. While this may not be true as of now, it is quite a future-proof statement. Last year, Netflix broke the glass ceiling and much more with its football-oriented documentary FIFA Uncovered.

The documentary pulled the curtains on FIFA as it delved deep into the controversies, corruption, and power struggles that have plagued its history. Although a much-needed break-in, it opened a pool of disappointment in football fans who worshipped the organization since childhood. And a Netflix documentary following the indomitable spirit of football is just the way to restore faith in football.
