The Hand of God（È stata la mano di Dio）-（2021）
There is no need to say what Maradona means to soccer. This production, shot during Maradona’s lifetime, is more about a living, breathing character because telling Diego’s story is the same as interpreting soccer in place.

It’s actually a fast-forwarding account of the entire career of Maradona, the Ballon d’Or king of his generation, and some of his events off the pitch, such as the tax evasion fiasco, divorce, and admission to a mental hospital.

Rudo y Cursi（2008）
Not too well known, it is the story of a pair of brothers and soccer. The film is set in Mexico, with a mention of Latin America and its soccer, more people think of those explosive and damaging original scenes, and the most significant explosive point of this film is precisely to hit the dark side of the football world behind the various.

When poverty is gone, the fame and fortune of the world of paper and money start to hit their hearts and minds, and the negative aspects behind soccer are revealed one by one.

Victory（1981）
This Hollywood film from the 1980s is an undisputed classic. In addition to action star Stallone in the lead role, Ballon d’Or winner Pele and England footballer Bobby Moore also played essential roles. The film’s most tremendous significance is that it conveys the value of justice through soccer. And the plot twists and turns, the fate of the characters and the soccer game intertwined, victory and escape success so that the people shouted enjoyably. In addition, the film has a specific comedic element, which embellishes the role just right.

The main plot:
The story is set in a concentration camp during World War II, where the German army organizes a soccer match to boost morale. The two warring sides are the German team and the POW team. A POW player sees this as an excellent opportunity to break out of prison and starts to form a group. Several starring characters responded positively and contacted and planned this prison break. In the end, a triumphant and victorious escape is achieved with a spectacular shutout by Pele as Fernandez.

Will (2011)
You’ll never walk along! When this song, which is close to faith, resonates through Anfield stadium, yes, the spirit of the Reds and the true feelings of the fans are evident. The film was nominated for the Cannes Film Prize, which shows its artistic value. It is worth mentioning that Liverpool soccer stars Kenny Dalglish and Steven Gerrard personally participated in the film, making the film more convincingly real.

The main plot:
The story of a die-hard Liverpool fan who travels thousands of miles to Turkey to watch a Liverpool match. Along the way, he meets many fans who share the same beliefs, and although the team is not favored, the young fan is always full of confidence. Finally, they witnessed the miracle of Istanbul!

Das Wunder Von Bern (2003)
The film is arguably the most respectful of soccer history. The “Miracle of Bern” is a term used in soccer circles to describe the beginning of Germany’s historical glory. In the 1954 World Cup in Switzerland, West Germany lost 3-8 in the group stage to the then-mighty Hungarians. In the final match in Bern, the West German team miraculously defeated Hungary with Puskás and Kocsis 3-2 to win the championship, performing the biggest miracle in soccer at that time.

Although the film was shot and released at the beginning of the 21st century, it reflects the important spiritual role of soccer in the 1950s for a country that was still in need of reconstruction.

Main plot.
Matthias, a German teenager, has never seen his father, who was a prisoner of war in World War II. Suddenly, one day his father returns home and appears before his eyes, but still not free from the shadow of the war, his father’s character is perverse, not good to Matthias, and also hates soccer. But the story progresses with the start of the World Cup, as father and son go from being strangers to regaining kinship through soccer, and finally go to Switzerland together to witness the miracle.

In addition to the above 7 movies, I believe there are many other classic and meaningful soccer-themed movies worthy of a detailed introduction, welcome to FootballAnt message discussion.
