In 1986, former footballer and retired medical physician Dr. Carlos Bilardo led Argentina to victory against West Germany, clinching the World Cup for a nation of die-hard soccer fans. But Bilardo’s path to success was marked by his controversial style, leading to regular clashes with the press, players, and even the government as his obsessive focus and over-the-top tactics pushed friends, family, and fans to their limit. Charting his career highs and lows, including a devastating turn at the 1990 games and, later, his public fall-out with close friend Diego Maradona, this four-part docuseries examines the life of a sports legend through insights from those who know him best.
