Absolutely stunning!

I'm not even a big football fan and I loved it.

Biggest learnings from this movie for me were:
1. How you play is way more important than the result. if you focus on how you play and you do that well, results will come.
2. If in 25 years, people are still talking about what you did/created then you can say you were great. To complement point 1, people will not talk about the titles you won, they will talk about how you played.
Its an entertaining and inspiring film for anyone, not just football and Barcelona fans.

"Més que un club"

Just not for Barca fans, this movie is for football fans

It is not an average documentary, it portrays the beauty of football in the best possible way. Truths are uncovered and tribute is payed to those who deserved. If you love football and wants to understand the philosophy behind the great era of Pep Guardiola, it is a must watch.
Beautiful. Must watch for all football fans. Very inspiring.

I've never seen a movie more beautiful than this. It depicts vividly why Barcelona is more than a club. Hats off to the producers for making such a perfect tribute to Barca golden days. There was not even a single boring minute. Totally worth watching. As a Barca fan, I have been blessed to have seen it. Visca el barca. Mes que un club!
As a Barça fan and a lover of beautiful football, this makes me incredibly happy!

Great way to honor the best team that ever played football. Pep's Barça played without any doubt the best football in the history of the game. This look into how it started, the great influence of Cruyff not only as a player but also as a coach and then a mentor and how another great name can give new heights to this philosophy, this way of life. Xavi really is the Mark III people are expecting. His understanding of the game is right there on top, along with Pep and Johan. He might not be there until after Messi's era ends (hopefully he will but timings might not work out) but when he comes La Masia will be able to produce great generations of players, inspired by Pep's team, by Messi, Iniesta, Xavi and many others, the same way this generation was inspired by Johan and his dream team!
Visca el Barça! Més que un club, una filosofia!

I'm a Barça fan, and this is just awesome!

I recently watched "Take the ball pass the ball" and I can say it is a movie that has balanced all its features to make a great film. All the characters fit their roles and make this movie worth watching.
The majority of this awesome movie is dedicated to the coach's philosophy, and Barça's journey to be one of the best teams in football history wich made this film very interesting.
It's just one of those perfect movies .The story, casting and direction all work to create onscreen magic that you need to see at least once in your life time!
Horrible editing

The Greatest
anthonydapiii3 November 2020
I always watched the World Cup because of Messi and Argentina.
To have the privilege to consume something with Messi and the greatest soccer team and one of the greatest coaches ever, was truly awesome.
I loved the quick in game recaps.

Homage to Barca's best era

This the best show to relive what the gods of football achieved between 2008-12. At times I can understand the bias towards a philosophy depicted here. Johan's guiding star,Rjikaard's implementation,Pep's tactics , Messi's beautiful rendition and dream team's execution are the main highlights. Background music simply pumps up all the emotions once again while watching these visuals.
The striking philosophies of the club to its strict following through diligent efforts of celestial players simply shows that this was a perfect era.

Barcelona's beautiful game.

A brief depiction of Guardiola's Barcelona, a team that dominated the world, thanks to Spain's golden generation, Cruyff's philosophy and Messi. The main narrative focuses on these elements expanding on tactics, training and the central players of this new team as well as portraying the club's core values of unity and cohesion. There isn't a narrator. Instead, it's a collection of interviews, pieced and stringed together to achieve the result. Game footage is limited.
As a whole very interesting and intriguing. Nonetheless it's a specialized recount of an aspect of football. As such I guess it's catered more towards fans of the club or of the game with knowledge and passion for the argument.

Terrible advert for football
ompy-0241917 August 2020
A constant stream of talking heads with their biased opinions. The football action is over stylised with ridiculous editing. A really painful watch which shows the destructive nature of over paid, unsporting 'professional' footballers.
Wonderful experience
elgaudanas5 April 2019
It was wonderful to hear all those players and managers speak about creative football. The group included some of my favorite players, although I hoped to hear more about Cryuff and Netherlands football. I would have liked to see more Mourinho in Barcelona days, as well.
Pep's closing "statements" were wonderful and conveyed a sense of bittersweetness that was sad to see, but expressed a strong pride in the achievements and lingering style.
BRILLIANT

I Loved the way how Barca was shown in the movie, One thing to say "They will not remember us for winning trophies they will coz the way we played" Barca played the best football in the Generation
VISCA EL BARCA
VISCA EL CATALAN.
Was almost good until......
alexdelarosaescobedo3 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
It was all good, I can acknowledge how good was that team and how Messi is a great player if not the best of history along CR, Pele and Maradona. But then the part of the game with the Chelsea where they were posed as heroes and superman's when it was all because of the Referees bad calls. That was a game for the Chelsea and I would have skipped that game or tell the truth.
Disappointing - The Pepe Barcelona team certainly deserve better!

Being a fan of Barcelona and a lover of sports documentaries in general, this documentary is extremely weak! Sports documentaries are usually inspiring and full of emotions .. not the case with this one though. Throughout the entire movie it was very monotonous and there was hardly any spark of emotion baring in mind that this was one of the most successful stories in sports history. The storyline and directing were a disaster to the point were you lose track of what's happening.
I believe the directors and producers have a lot to learn from the likes of the bulls docu-series "The Last Dance"
The Pepe Barcelona team certainly deserve better!
