Super League: The War for Football (Season 1)

Super League: The War for Football (2023) is a documentary series you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Jeff Zimbalist. In April 2021, twelve of Europe's wealthiest clubs announced a closed breakaway competition — and within 48 hours, fan pressure had already brought it down.

Zimbalist interviews people on both sides: Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher led the public revolt, while Andrea Agnelli had been engineering the project in private for years. The film doesn't stop at the 2021 weekend — it maps the power structures of European football from the postwar era to the present, following the money from national leagues to UEFA and back. Nasser Al-Khelaifi, Gary Lineker and Pep Guardiola all appear on camera. Uncomfortable viewing for anyone who assumed UEFA was keeping football safe from outside money.
