Let's take a look...
What's the story?
As mentioned, a documentary focused on the controversial transfer of Luis Figo from Barcelona to Real Madrid will be released this Thursday.
Fans will get an inside look at how one of the most groundbreaking transfers in world football came about.
The documentary is titled 'The Figo Affair' and is produced by the same filmmakers as the Pelé biopic.

The feature-length documentary will be in Spanish, with an English option for subtitles.
'El Casa Figo', which is the title translated into Spanish, will give Figo a chance to explain how the transfer happened from his perspective.
Burnt jerseys, thrown pig heads, and spray-painted buildings are just a small aspect of the backlash that Figo faced from the transfer that changed football and kickstarted the Galacticos era.
Here's the trailer:
