Drogba was livid after Chelsea’s loss to FC Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League semi-final, a competition the latter went on to win that year.Andrés Iniesta: The Unexpected Hero 2020 Movie Download.
Sure, the referee made a few contentious calls, but nobody at the Bridge was contending the quality of the match-winning goal: the one that came off the boot of Andrés Iniesta; the shot that missed the grasp of a helpless Petr Čech — by a few millimetres in fact — something the Czech goalie points out in the documentary Andrés Iniesta: The Unexpected Hero.Featuring glowing tributes from friends, family, teammates, coaches, managers and rivals, the documentary is a deep dive into the man behind the genius of Iniesta, one of Spain’s most decorated futbolista. Shot before the outbreak of COVID-19, the documentary begins at Iniesta’s current home, Japan, where he plays for and captains the J1 League side, Vissel Kobe. We learn that behind the calm demeanour the man is known for on the pitch, he is an even more reticent character off it.
The filmmakers follow Iniesta, his wife and their four little children as they discuss their fondness for the quiet life they are now accustomed to in Japan.

We also get a glimpse of Iniesta sharing life with David Villa, his former Barca teammate who retired from football in January 2020 as a Vissel Kobe player.One such is Iniesta’s battle with depression at the height of success. On the back of a historical treble-winning campaign of 2009 for FC Barcelona (which included the aforementioned game against Chelsea), Iniesta, as we later came to know, suffered from anxiety and depression.
