Michel Platini documentary series debuts on Canal+

A new six-episode documentary series titled ‘Platini, le maître du jeu’ is being released on Canal+. Directed by Guillaume Priou, the series utilizes extensive archives to chronicle the career of former French football icon Michel Platini.

In the documentary, Platini reflects on his legacy and the emotional impact of his time with the French national team, particularly noting the joy his generation brought to the country. He expressed that he participated in the project for his grandchildren, hoping to show younger generations how football was played during an era when France did not frequently win major titles.
