Together: Treble Winners is a six-episode docuseries directed by John De Caux. Manchester City, with Erling Haaland as the star player and Pep Guardiola as the head coach, steps into the 2022-2023 season with a clear objective: the treble. Premier League, FA Cup, and above all, the Champions League – these are the goals the fans dream about and yearn for.
Even though they’ve won four of the last five Premier League titles, the big European competition has been elusive, not just for the club, but also for Guardiola who has not clinched the Champions League trophy since his days at Barcelona.
“Together: Treble Winners” is a documentary about a year of living with Manchester City and how they finally achieved their much-coveted goal: The Triple Crown, which rightfully made them the best team of the year in Europe.
About the Documentary
This documentary format is nothing new to Netflix viewers: one season in a specific sport or, in this case, a team. And this time, the spotlight is on Manchester City, the wealthiest team in the Premier League, yet one that hadn’t managed to conquer the top European tournament.
The team’s key figure, Pep Guardiola, had arrived with a reputation as a great coach, but until then, had not fulfilled his dream of winning a Champions League without Lionel Messi on his side.
“Together: Treble Winners” is a documentary for football fans first and foremost. If you’re not a fan or don’t like the sport, it won’t add much to your life, as it focuses more on the lives and interviews with the team stars than providing a broader view of football.
However, if you want to get to know the City stars up close, Netflix gifts us this golden opportunity to live almost shoulder-to-shoulder with them and experience a dream and obsession: the treble.
As a sports documentary, it’s typical of what you’d expect from Netflix: top-notch, mostly because it has access to all the main players and, besides, who wouldn’t want to miss a globally broadcast documentary that will make them even more famous?
The Manchester City team offers total availability, allowing Netflix to explore every corner of the field to deliver this documentary that, apparently, tells it all about the 2022-2023 season.
Enjoy the watch.
