“From Myth to Challenge”
Synopsis
'The Architect: From Myth to Challenge' analyzes the surprising turn of events in Xabi Alonso's career since his arrival at Real Madrid's bench.

Through exclusive interviews and expert commentary, this film offers the first in-depth look at the manager at his most critical moment, when the myth faces the challenge.
