The rise of social media has allowed the modern football fan a greater depth of insight into their favourite players’ live than ever before. When Amazon Prime’s ‘All or Nothing’ series debuted in the Premier League in 2018, cameras followed Pep Guardiola’s ‘Mentality Monsters’ Manchester City, giving supporters undiluted ‘behind the scenes’ access.
From there the series went on to cover Brazil’s winning campaign at the 2019 Copa América, Jose Mourinho’s tumultuous 2020 season in charge of Tottenham, as well as Andrea Pirlo’s attempt to win Juventus’ 10th consecutive Serie A title.

3. All or Nothing: Juventus
Over eight episodes, this series charts Andrea Pirlo’s first year at the helm of Serie A giants. He takes over the most successful club in Italy – one that has won the Scudetto for nine consecutive seasons and whose ambition is to win their first Champions League trophy since 1996. Viewers are given a chance to see the professionalism with which Cristiano Ronaldo applies…
