Atlético Madrid and its link with Marbella: The story of George Best
Atlético Madrid visits Marbella this Saturday in a match that recalls the historic relationship between the club and the Malaga city. A documentary by Movistar Plus reviews the most important moments of the club, including the story of George Best, who was close to playing for Marbella.
Best, winner of the 1968 Ballon d’Or, spent his summers in Marbella and wanted to play for free for the club, but the foreigner law prevented it. The documentary also tells the story of Marbella’s promotion to the Second Division and the internal conflicts that led to the club’s disappearance in 1997.
