A four-part documentary examining Pep Guardiola’s last two campaigns at Manchester City is now available for streaming
A Beautiful Obsession provides what is described as ‘unfiltered’ entry to City’s changing room.
The conclusion of Pep Guardiola’s tenure as Manchester City’s boss is examined in a fresh documentary collection. A Beautiful Obsession traces Guardiola’s journey through the 2024/25 and 2025/26 terms across four instalments, now available to watch.
Described as ‘the definitive story of a sentimental goodbye’, A Beautiful Obsession signals the finish of a significant chapter in English football. Since his arrival at City in 2016, Guardiola guided the side to six top-flight crowns, Europe’s premier club competition, three FA Cups and five League Cups.
With his ten-year spell at the club concluding the previous campaign, this ‘complete access’ documentary series examines the trophy-free 2024/25 season. Through ‘previously unreleased’ footage from the dressing room, it also documents the team’s revival and their achievement of a domestic double the subsequent year, securing the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.
The collection documents a squad experiencing transition, as established figures such as Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and John Stones left the club. It reaches its conclusion with the culmination of the 2025/26 season, featuring a crucial encounter with Arsenal, the FA Cup showpiece and Guardiola’s emotional departure.
A Beautiful Obsession comes from the hand of Oscar and BAFTA-winning filmmaker Kevin Macdonald, whose credits include Touching the Void, The Last King of Scotland and the Whitney Houston documentary Whitney. It apparently provides ‘unfiltered’ access to Guardiola, his players and the club’s boardroom, as newcomers settle in and Guardiola grapples with timing his retirement.
