Overview
- A Beautiful Obsession, released on Prime Video on August 19, 2026, presents fly-on-the-wall footage from Guardiola’s last two seasons and exposes private dressing-room scenes and boardroom discussions.
- The film captures a December 2024 dressing-room confrontation in which captain Kyle Walker told Guardiola he was repeatedly singled out and then left the club on loan to AC Milan in January 2025.
- Guardiola is shown discussing his divorce, appearing emotionally strained and admitting he told club leaders “maybe it’s over,” a revelation that explains how close he came to quitting during the autumn 2024 collapse.
- The documentary records the club’s painful transition decisions: Kevin De Bruyne being told his contract would not be renewed and Rayan Cherki being recruited despite internal concerns about his temperament.
- By linking the on-field collapse, the manager’s personal struggles and boardroom choices, the series reframes Guardiola’s decision to step down after the 2025–26 season and signals the human costs and strategic risks of City’s rebuild.
