If you're a football fan or just happen to read the news when Neymar and football pops up, pretty much nothing on this show will be new to you.
It is great at telling the story of Neymar, his rise to stardom, his successes and failures, the way he balances the life of an athlete who constantly finds himself on the spotlight and the man who just wants to live his life, and his take on some of the events who happened along his career.
My main point of criticism is that the show fails to take a deeper look in his story, this may be because of the fact that Neymar himself does not like to open up, or maybe that's just how they wanted to run it, but it felt disapointing. I believe this documentary should be about the man behind the athlete, and not the other way around, as his story as an athlete is still being written.
Here are some interesting point I believe the show failed to take a closer look into:
And I could go on, but I feel like I made my point. Overall, it's a good show if you wanna relive some football history, but not a good one if your goal is to take a closer look at Neymar. The only thing you will actually learn from the show is how harsh his dad is on him, and how he fails to see how his soon could hire a million managers, but could not hire a father.

Here are some interesting point I believe the show failed to take a closer look into:
- His feelings about becoming a father at a young age and the prime of his career.
- What it looked like to become a huge football star at the same time social medias were taking over, meaning he could never be just an athlete but also a celebrity.
- The way he feels and what motivates him behind his decisions, an example of this would be when he talks about his decision to move to PSG, he just says it wasn't for money, which left a feeling of "well, then why did you do it?"
- How the visible strain on the relationship with his father made him feel.
- The goals he still has left on his career.
