2. The End of the Storm
The End of the Storm is a documentary about one of English football's biggest and most historic clubs – Liverpool FC, and its 2019/20 Premier League winning season, which ended a 30-year league title drought for the club. Directed by James Erskine, the film features unprecedented access to the club, including interviews with manager Jürgen Klopp, players like Jordan Henderson, Sadio Mané, and Roberto Firmino, and fans around the world.

4. The Billion Dollar Goal

5. Football Must Go On
Football Must Go On is about the Ukrainian football club Shakhtar Donetsk and its UEFA Champions League run amidst the ongoing war in Ukraine. The series follows the team as they deal with the immense challenges of playing a European season, such as competing while their country is at war, hosting "home" matches in Poland, and supporting their families and fellow Ukrainians.
