Description:
Haaland
Strong, quick, and physically dominant - Erling Haaland is the striker who has it all. From an early age, his impatience and his determination to succeed always singled him out as a player to watch. This is the inspiring story of how a boy from Bryne in Norway used his extraordinary skill and his total self-belief to become one of the greatest strikers in the world.
Mahrez
Stuck in the French fourth division at 22, it didn't look as if Riyad Mahrez was going to set the football world alight. But the winger's speed, trickery and his eye for goal was too impressive to go unnoticed - and a move to the UK set Riyad on a new path. Join him on his mission to make his opportunity count - to shock the world by rewriting the history books and lifting the biggest trophies in the game.
Salah
Quick, focused, and with astonishing speed, Mo Salah is one of the best players of his generation - and certainly the best Egyptian player of all time. But his journey to the top wasn't all plain sailing. An early move into the Premier League didn't work out, and it took a transfer to Italy to enable him to achieve the success he sought. Join Mo on his unwavering mission to become one of the greatest players of all time.
Saka
Bukayo Saka's versatility and sheer creativity on the pitch marked him out as a player who would take the football world by storm. But that same versatility often left him battling for a consistent place in the starting line-up, as coaches tried to work out how to use him to best advantage. Join Bukayo Saka on his exhilarating journey to the very top of international football, taking in devastating heartbreak as well as glorious successes on the way.
Silva
At the age of nine, Bernardo Silva fulfilled his childhood dream of playing for Benfica, when he joined their youth academy. But getting into the first team proved to be much more difficult than he expected. His journey into professional football wasn't easy, but his flexibility, his sheer skill and his willingness to work harder than anyone else was always going to win out. Join wonderkid Bernardo Silva on his journey to the very top, winning countless trophies and achieving international stardom with one of the greatest teams in the world.
Neymar
From humble beginnings in Brazil to becoming part of the most feared attacking trio in world football, Neymar has come a long way. But his path to the top was far from straightforward. After overcoming an injury that nearly finished his career, he struggled with the burdens of carrying the dreams of a nation, at the age of just 24. Join the new Prince of Santos as he embarks on a personal quest - and wins some of the biggest trophies in football on the way.
Ronaldo
With lightning-fast footwork and a fiery passion, Cristiano Ronaldo is idolised by millions of football fans around the world. But Cristiano's journey has not been as easy as it seems. With severe injuries, impossibly high standards and unforgiving British tabloids, it didn't always look as though he would make it to the top. Follow a determined Cristiano Ronaldo on his quest to become the greatest football player in history.
Messi
Even at the age of five, Lionel Messi stood out as an astonishing player. Relocating from Argentina to Barcelona at the age of just 13, he was ready to take the world by storm. But being the foundation of a great Barcelona squad brings its pressures too, especially when the manager chooses to build his team around you. Join Lionel on his incredible journey to become the man who many have called the greatest player of all time.
Kane
Now one of England's biggest stars, it might come as no surprise that, at 11 years old, Harry Kane told David Beckham he was going to captain England. But coaches' doubts, disappointing loan spells and crushing defeats often made that dream look impossible. Discover Harry's twisting journey, growing up just a stone's throw from his boyhood club and then going on to become their most lethal striker - and the man who led England to their first European final.
Bellingham
A game-changer at both ends of the pitch, Jude Bellingham's combination of power and poise makes him the complete midfielder. But with injury frustrations and heartbreaking defeats, his meteoric rise to the top has not been plain sailing. Join Jude on his astonishing journey, from small Championship stadiums to the bright lights of the Champions League - and see what it takes to be worthy of Real Madrid's number 5 shirt.
