Anelka: Misunderstood Netflix, from Wednesday

A troubled genius or a man who wasted his career? Whatever you think about Nicolas Anelka (below), you can’t deny he had the skills to pay the bills. The French international striker scored goals across the globe during a 20-year career that saw him play for such teams as Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, Paris St Germain and Real Madrid before hanging his boots up following a stint with Mumbai FC. On his day, Anelka could be a world beater, but his discipline had a habit of getting him into trouble.

This documentary aims to tell the truth about this extraordinary figure. Seven years in the making, it examines not only his career but also his personal life, and much of the information comes from Anelka himself, who discusses many of the events featured here for the first time.
