- [man 1] Okay. Yeah. - [man 2] Rolling?
[man 2] Okay. First of all, this has to be the tidiest room I've ever seen.
- Is this always like this? - Yeah, always.
- I haven't done it especially. - [man 2] Honestly?
Honestly. Always like this. I hate having an untidy room.
[man 2] Right, we're looking around here. This closed wardrobe.
[David] But it's in a mess.
- [man 2] It's in a mess? How messy? - [David] Messy.
[man 2] Not even one sneak look?
[David] You can have a sneak.
[quiet, contemplative music playing]
[David] It's all quite organized.
Jackets.
Uh, jean shirts, shirts.
And then it goes from jumpers, cardis, to T-shirts.
Underwear.
Socks.
And then suits.
So...
[Fisher] Okay.
So you do this?
[David] I do this.
Kind of color-coordinated.
And then, obviously, I put them at an angle
just so I can see what's under them.
T-shirts.
Yeah, T-shirts.
[quiet, contemplative music continues]
So, those are my outfits for the rest of the week.
[Fisher] Wait, wait, wait. Explain that to me.
I prep my week. Yeah.
It used to be just the night before, but...
[Fisher] Is that a new-ish obsession?
Yeah, it is, actually.
[Fisher] Huh.
[David] Quite organized.
These are my jeans, trousers.
- Ah, someone's been in here. - [Fisher] Someone's been in there?
Someone's been in there, yeah.
[Fisher, chuckling] Come on.
[David] I don't know who.
[music stops]
- [crowd chattering] - [man speaking over loudspeaker]
[commentator 1 speaking Spanish] Welcome to the return of La Liga.
[commentator continues speaking Spanish and audio fades out]
[commentator 2] It feels good to be back.
The Beckham factor adding considerable spice to an already heady cocktail.
That first season, I remember it being different because...
[commentator 2] Decent delivery, and the header's in!
[lively Latin music playing]
[David] ...when the other team scored a goal,
I remember seeing Ronaldo laughing and joking.
I was like, "You're losing one-nil."
[commentator 2] Beckham frustrated.
But he was like, "Don't worry. We-- We're gonna score."
[commentator 2] The one-two. Ronaldo involved here.
Oh, and Beckham arriving! Oh! I say!
[laughing]
[speaking Spanish] If we won we'd go out or grab a beer,
or a guaraná.
[speaking Spanish] And caipirinhas. David was a fan of those.
[lively Latin music continues]
[commentator 2] Wonderful pass from Beckham. Zidane!
When a free kick was awarded,
we didn't know who'd take it, me or him.
[commentator 2] Roberto Carlos, who seems to follow in his shadow.
"No, I'm taking this." "No, you're--" "No, I am."
"Actually, you take it, because, yeah, it's a bit far away for you."
[commentator 2] "Me or you?" Who'll take charge?
[Fisher] Did you love taking free kicks?
I loved... When the other ones let me take it, yes.
[laughing]
[commentator 2] David Beckham! Oh!
[Victoria] This was a time when...
- [commentator 2] David Beckham. - ...anything he touched turned gold.
[commentator 2] You beauty!
I remember saying, "You would love to get in the bath,
but you can't because every time you get in the bath,
the water parts and you just walk on straight through."
[man speaking Spanish] Do you think you're losing out because you're married?
All these women who love you, throw their pants at you.
No. Of course, you know, I'm very happily married
and I've got a beautiful wife and two gorgeous children,
so, you know, I'm very happy.
But everything he did, everything he said was great, turned to gold.
Goldenballs.
- [Jonathan] You're married to... - Yeah.
...one of the most attractive, handsome, famous men in the world
and, you know, it's all there for him.
And right now, he's in Spain. They're throwing themselves at him.
- Yeah. - Are you worried?
Do you get concerned? Are you jealous of each other?
I mean, I think it's always healthy
to have a certain amount of jealousy in a relationship.
[quiet, tense music playing]
[reporter 1] They're one of the world's most recognizable couples.
Over the years, the Beckhams have actively marketed their union
as a marriage made in heaven.
But today, that relationship is under a totally different spotlight,
with allegations David Beckham had an affair
after the footballer's transfer to Real Madrid.
[people shouting]
[reporter 1] The News of the World, which printed detailed allegations yesterday,
said it stood by its story 100%.
[slow, dramatic music playing]
So now we have a...
you know, a matrimonial difficulty,
which is the biggest story, kind of, in the world right now.
[reporter 2] Allegations of extramarital affairs have consumed acres of newsprint.
This has been the story of the decade.
It's been on the front page for ten days straight. It's extraordinary.
Of which the British tabloids seized with enormous glee.
[slow, dramatic music continues]
Does anyone know if any of this is true?
[Fisher] So, multiple tabloid stories broke.
- And how did you deal with that? - [music stops]
Umm...
There was some...
horrible stories
that were difficult to...
um...
deal with.
It was the first time that me and Victoria had been put under
that kind of pressure in our marriage.
[reporter 1] The Sun carries a photograph of what it claims
is a tearful Victoria Beckham
as she flew out to Switzerland,
where she'll be joined by her husband on a skiing holiday.
[Fisher] Would you say that was the hardest time in your marriage?
100%. It was the hardest period for us.
Because it felt like the world was against us.
Here's the thing, we were against each other,
if I'm being completely honest.
You know, up until Madrid,
sometimes it felt like us against everybody else,
but we were together, we were connected, we had each other.
But when we were in Spain, it didn't really feel like we had each other either.
And that's sad.
When I-- When I...
When I first moved to Spain...
um...
it was difficult, because I...
I'd been part of a club and a family for my whole career,
from the age of 15 till I was 27 years old.
I get sold overnight.
The next minute, I am in a city,
I don't speak the language.
More importantly, I didn't have my family.
[slow, moody music playing]
[reporter 3] After the week's revelations,
the Beckham family were reunited inside this chalet for the night,
somewhat under siege from the media.
[Victoria] I can't even begin to tell you how
hard it was
and how it affected me.
You know, every time that we woke up,
we felt, you know, there was something else.
And, you know, we felt that... I think we both felt at the time
that we were not losing each other, but drowning.
[Fisher] How do you think you guys survived that?
Um, I don't know.
[music fades out]
Don't know.
Um...
I don't know how we got through it, in all honesty.
[indistinct chatter]
[David] Victoria's everything to me.
To see her hurt was incredibly difficult.
[man] Come on. Hey. Let's go. Please.
But...
we're fighters.
And at that time, we needed to fight for each other,
we needed to fight for our family.
[slow, tense music playing]
And what we had was worth fighting for.
[reporter 3] Today, the Beckhams returned to Spain,
sweeping off to catch their private jet, together.
But ultimately, it's our private life.
[slow, dramatic music playing]
[reporter 4] None of this is ideal preparation for Beckham's return
to the Real Madrid team today.
It's thought Posh will be at today's game,
with much of the world's media trying to gauge her mood
by the look on her face.
Impossible to hide the fact that it has been a difficult week for David Beckham.
There was some days that I would wake up and think,
"How am I going to go to work? How am I going to walk onto that pitch?"
"How am I going to look as if nothing's wrong?"
[man] Sometimes with football, they get out on the pitch,
they can forget about everything else and enjoy their football.
[David] But I felt physically sick
every day when I opened my eyes.
"How am I going to do this?"
[slow, dramatic music continues]
I said, "David, you still, uh, think that you will be able to perform tomorrow?"
David said, "Don't worry."
- [commentator 1] Beckham. - [dramatic music playing]
[commentator 2] Beckham tries one from long range. Keeper...
[commentator 1] Well, it's almost Selhurst Park all over again.
Family enjoyed it.
But there's a real chance here.
And they're a goal down already! What a start for Osasuna!
And then, suddenly, we went out of control.
[commentator 1] Oh, and Casillas's mistake! It's two-nil!
It was mental. Totally mental.
[commentator 1] Could they make it three-nil here? Oh yes, they are!
And Carlos Queiroz and Real Madrid surely are down and out.
And they're shaking their heads everywhere, Gerry.
[commentator 2] Fans are waving white handkerchiefs. They've had enough.
The handkerchiefs come out, the whistles come out,
and I'm like, "I've heard about this," but never witnessed it,
and it's not nice.
[no audible dialogue]
[commentator 2] What a horrible week they're having.
[commentator 1] It's all over here
on a quite unbelievable night at the Bernabéu.
They've been knocked off the top of the Spanish league table
- for the first time in three months. - [music stops]
[camera shutter click]
[Fisher] So the plan was after the first season, Victoria and the kids move?
- [camera shutter clicks] - [David] Yeah. That's when they came out.
[woman] Have you not been to this house?
[man 1] I haven't been to this one, but the previous one...
- Oh, he has to talk for a sec. - [man 2] Okay.
I'm just gonna...
[reporter speaking Spanish] The arrival of Victoria Adams to Spain can be interpreted
as an attempt by the couple to help their relationship
that has recently deteriorated due to the numerous stories.
Loads of the same nonsense in the papers today.
[slow, moody music playing]
As soon as I could get the kids in school, we then moved full-time.
This is the boys' room.
Though they don't sleep in their own room. They are always in our room.
Look at all those trainers. Who do you reckon he's sponsored by?
You've still got loads of stuff left in England.
Not much.
This is the bathroom. I actually don't want to go back to England now.
and I never thought I'd say that, David. Did you?
- We'll see. - [music stops]
I think she'll tell you herself that...
It was a nightmare. From the minute we opened the door in the morning...
[man 1 speaking Spanish] I'm going to sneak past him.
[dramatic music playing]
[Victoria] ...the press were there in cars,
and everywhere we went, we would get followed.
[man 2 speaking Spanish] Don't do anything crazy.
[David] Every time that I went to drop Brooklyn off at his school,
ten, 15 paparazzi there every morning.
The school run, it was live on Spanish TV.
[Victoria] It was an absolute circus.
It's entertaining when the circus comes to town, right?
Unless you're in it.
It was very difficult for Brooklyn, because he was older.
[people shouting]
And he had photographers screaming.
The things they used to scream to Brooklyn about his mum and his dad.
[man speaking Spanish]
[David] Brooklyn, at the time, was so young.
You know, he had to go through that, and I don't know whether...
I don't know whether it's, um,
harmed him in-- I don't know. I don't know.
- [in Spanish] What's going on? - [man in Spanish] What's going on?
- What's going on? What are you doing? - What's going on?
Incredible.
At school, at my home.
[chatter continues]
[Victoria] Did I resent David?
If I'm being totally honest, yes, I did.
[people shouting]
It's all right, Buster. They can't get in.
- [Brooklyn cries] - It's all right.
They can't get in the car.
[Victoria] It's all right. Mummy's got you. It's all right. Mummy's got you.
It was probably, if I'm being honest,
the most unhappy I have ever been in my entire life.
You all right, Buster?
[David] You all right, big boy? I told you it would be okay.
[Victoria] It wasn't that I felt unheard,
because I chose to internalize a lot of it,
because I was always mindful of the focus that he needed.
[dramatic music playing]
[commentator 1] Ronaldinho. Skips it over the top. Xavi! Oh!
Oh!
You know the documentaries of the planes when they crash?
They start to lose control, lose control.
[commentator 1] Oh, great strike! What a goal!
I never lived a situation like that in football. Never ever. I swear to God.
[commentator 1] Unbelievable! Real Madrid are throwing away the league.
[Ronaldo speaking Spanish] They began to doubt us.
They said that we were a marketing project,
that we were not
a sports project.
[commentator 1] They've lost their last three games.
Never in their history have they lost four in a row, Gerry.
[commentator 2] Well, they don't want to change history tonight, Rob.
[commentator 1] There is Casillas. Oh, who drops it!
And here's a shock. Already-relegated Murcia are leading.
A disastrous end to the season for Real Madrid.
Never ever, in their 102 years, lost four games in a row.
Real Madrid in crisis.
[David] I look and there's this Real Madrid fan.
And he said, "Beckham. Muy guapo pero muy mal."
Which is, "You're very beautiful, but you're very bad."
[music ends]
[indistinct chatter]
[Victoria] I was pregnant with Cruz.
David comes home from training one day, and I said, you know,
"They've told me that I can go in, you know, Monday morning
and I can have the baby." He said, "Yeah, the thing is," he said,
"I can't do that because I've got a shoot."
I said, "What do you mean, a shoot?"
"Yeah, I've got to do a photoshoot with Jennifer Lopez and Beyoncé."
[moody classical music playing]
[camera shutter clicking]
I was like, "Are you..." Seriously, I'm about to burst. I'm on bed rest.
"Are you kidding me?"
"You've got a damn photoshoot with Jennifer Lopez,
who is gorgeous and not about to have a baby."
So I had my C-section, and I remember lying there.
Don't feel at my most gorgeous, let's just say.
[doctor speaking Spanish] Mrs. Victoria Beckham
gave birth
by prescheduled cesarean section.
And I remember someone showing me the front page of the newspaper,
which was a gorgeous picture of David between Jennifer Lopez and Beyoncé.
And the headline was, "What would Posh say?"
[man] One here, please.
Now I've got another beautiful son, and his mum is very good, so...
Let me tell you what Posh would say. Posh was pissed off.
[music stops]
[Florentino speaking Spanish] I am very disappointed
with the performances over the last few months.
We have agreed, by mutual agreement,
Carlos Queiroz will not continue with the club.
[tense music playing]
We have agreed to hire Camacho
as the new coach of Real Madrid.
[commentator shouting in Spanish]
I accept the resignation of Antonio Camacho as coach.
Remón is the new coach of Real Madrid.
It was probably one of the most unsettled I'd felt as a footballer,
because we'd gone through so many different managers.
[commentator 1] He's let the ball go! What a mistake! What a mistake!
Samuel Eto'o scores against...
I have accepted the resignation of Remón as coach of Madrid.
I'd never had that in my career. I'd been at Manchester United,
where we'd had one manager all the way through.
Luxemburgo is the new coach of Real Madrid.
[commentator 1] Goes past Helguera as if he isn't there, puts it through the legs!
[David] So, during that time, we didn't win anything.
[Florentino] After having analyzed the situation,
I think this is the right time
for me to leave the presidency of Real Madrid.
[tense music stops]
The first thing we need to eliminate,
the Galácticos atmosphere.
It's hurting us.
[dramatic violin music playing]
So we need a coach that is going to be tough on them.
And he comes.
- [Fisher] Who is it? - Of course, our Italian favorite.
[chuckles]
[man speaking Spanish] Fabio Capello! Welcome to Madrid!
[speaking Spanish] It's always the same.
[Fisher] Would you like a coffee?
- Yes. Why not? - [Fisher] Yes, great.
But is it good coff... Italian coffee, or...
[Fisher] It's an espresso.
Espresso.
[reporter speaking Spanish] Fabio Capello had a message for the heart of Madridismo.
[dramatic violin music stops]
[speaking Spanish] The Galácticos are players from another universe.
[chuckling] They arrive from the stars to a club,
which is great motivation for the opponents to beat them.
[chuckling]
So I had to fix that.
[light, dramatic music playing]
[reporter speaking Spanish] It took Capello seconds to show his hard hand.
Fabio Capello was like a tough, strict manager, which I loved.
And he made me nervous.
And I don't get nervous.
[Ronaldo speaking Spanish] Capello tried to have a firm hand with us.
But I never agreed with the firm-hand approach.
[commentator 1] Greetings. How are you?
Welcome to the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
[commentator 2] News in.
Real Madrid will be without Ronaldo, without Beckham.
[light, dramatic music continues]
[Fisher] So he benched both of you?
[David] He benched both of us.
[no audible dialogue]
[Fisher] You must have burned.
It killed me. It killed me.
[commentator 3] No David Beckham in the starting 11
for the second successive week.
So, at that point, I wasn't sure of my future at Real Madrid.
[music stops]
[Tim] I always watched the benches of the great teams.
If they were a really good player, what I know is they're pissed off.
[frantic violin music playing]
Those are the guys you got to go get.
I remember looking at that, going,
"You don't put David Beckham on a bench."
[chuckling]
And they did.
"We're gonna get this guy."
That's not ambitious, that's rambunctious.
This, you know, American idiot that says,
"Hey, you know, one day, I'm gonna come and get this player."
And they're all looking at me like, "Sure. Good luck." [chuckling]
[music continues]
[Tim] If you look at soccer around the world,
the one place they've never been able to break through is the United States.
This is the world's greatest game.
They stop wars for this game.
There are countries that don't talk to each other
that come together every four years and compete in this game.
We're gonna have to do some things to make this country
be as passionate about it as they are everywhere else in the world.
[music stops]
[people chattering in Spanish]
[David] Tim Leiweke flew over to Madrid
after one of the games that I wasn't playing in.
I sat with him in a restaurant, and Tim said, "Okay."
We got a chance to build something special with this league.
We wanted to be a great league.
We're gonna entertain the people.
We were about to spend a gazillion dollars.
One of the most important decisions ever made in sports.
It's the beginning of something phenomenal.
We can be this if we are just not afraid to make big, bold decisions.
But at that point, yeah, it didn't really even come into my head
about moving to America.
As much as I loved America.
[man] David, how was lunch?
Si, perfecto. Gracias.
[David] I was playing for Real Madrid.
So I was more focused on getting back into the team.
[dramatic violin music playing]
[commentator 3] Reyes gets a chance tonight ahead of David Beckham.
[commentator 4] Looks like he's taken a knock.
[David] And I wasn't going to walk away.
[commentator 3] A tattooed man is going to enter the fray.
David Beckham is introduced.
[David] But the Monday morning, Capello called me into his office,
and he says,
"Um, I heard that you're talking to other clubs."
And then, at the end of it, he said,
"You will never play for Real Madrid again."
[music stops]
And that's when I was like, "Sorry?"
He said, "You will not play for my team again."
So, obviously, at that point...
[clears throat]
...uh, I was very upset.
[Fisher] What did you do?
He's an international superstar, his wife's a former Spice Girl,
and he's kind of a hunk.
Now he's taking that A-game to Hollywood.
[Landon] The coach of the Galaxy said,
"Landon...
[moody classical music playing]
...I think we might have a chance at getting David Beckham."
And I said, "To do what?"
[Kyle] Someone said, "What team do you play for again?"
I was like, "I play for LA Galaxy."
He goes, "I can't believe you are signing David Beckham."
And I was like, "What the fuck are you talking about?"
[man] How much are you gonna pay him?
A lot.
Yeah, it was, it was quite an interesting contract.
He agreed today to a $250-million contract.
I went...
[sighs]
"Are you sure?"
[reporter] David Beckham will be introduced
as a new member of the Los Angeles Galaxy at a news conference.
[Fisher] Were you ever tempted to go play in America?
[chuckling] No.
Thank you. Thank you, Michael. Hi, everybody. Welcome.
I see a lot of familiar faces around here.
Is this on? There we go. Hello, David. It's Pat O'Brien in Los Angeles. Welcome.
David, can you hear us?
Well, these are the things that happen when you do live broadcasts.
[David] I couldn't understand the fact that in a restaurant,
someone would expect you to give them 25% of the bill.
I can't understand Americans, let alone play football in America.
[Pat] David, can you hear us now?
Yep. Uh, they're not...
[moody classical music continues]
I think we wish him well.
It's a big career change from playing for Real Madrid
to go and play in America.
I-- I-- I couldn't agree with it. I couldn't agree with it.
If he'd asked for my advice, I would have said, "Not on your life."
I was so relieved to be going from such a tricky situation in Spain.
[man] Welcome!
[reporter 1] Victoria Beckham describes herself as a busy working mum
whose priority now is to find a new home for her family
and new schools for her kids.
[Victoria] It was a place where everything was just so much easier.
[man] Everybody away from the car!
[Victoria] Easier to find a house, easier to find a school,
you don't have a language barrier.
And so, for me, it was all my dreams come true.
Thanks. Uh, just to finish that off, Nick,
he is under contract with Real Madrid until end of June.
[camera shutters clicking]
[reporter 2] David Beckham was back in training with Real Madrid
while the football world was digesting news of his decision
to quit Europe for the States.
[quiet, contemplative music playing]
[Fabio speaking Italian] When David signed for Los Angeles...
the Real Madrid board
saw it as an offense.
That had never happened.
[David] The manager came over and said,
"David, you go over there."
And he made me train on my own.
[Míchel] To see David not training with the team...
it was a tough moment.
[music stops]
[David] I remember sitting in the box with the family, watching the games,
and I'd never experienced something like that before.
[commentator 1] A nice turn from Fernandez! It's a brilliant pass!
Marcos! Goal!
And Real Madrid are a goal down.
Fabio Capello, a man under pressure.
[David] Even though they went through a period of not winning games,
I couldn't get into the team.
[commentator 1] David Beckham must watch on, painfully, from the stands again.
He's still frozen out by Capello.
And a goal is slotted in quite comfortably.
[commentator 2] Real Madrid are struggling. Something's got to give.
[moody slow rock music playing]
[Victoria] But he kept going.
Why didn't he just say,
"Sod this. I don't need this in my life. Sorry. Checking out."
But he just kept going.
[David] Even if I wasn't wanted,
I wanted to be there.
[Fabio speaking Italian] David was always on time for training
and kept working very hard.
It was quite a surprise for me.
[Roberto speaking Spanish] So we spoke to Capello...
and pleaded with him to let David train with us.
[Fabio speaking Italian] I went to see the president and said...
"From tomorrow, I will let David play."
[applause]
[music becomes more upbeat]
"If I lose, you can send me away."
[Mark] A month ago, he proclaimed that David Beckham
would never again play for Real Madrid.
Tonight, Fabio Capello names the England captain in his starting 11
as he attempts to save his own neck.
Real start the weekend in fourth, behind the leaders, Barcelona.
[Fabio] But it was impossible.
It was impossible for Barcelona to lose the championship with that big lead.
[commentator 1] But can Beckham be a catalyst for the title race?
I don't give up easy.
I don't give up.
[faint chuckle]
[lively rock music playing]
[commentator 1] Just a little bit too far out for a direct strike? We'll see.
Beckham goes for goal! And finds it!
When David came back into the team, I said, "We'll win this league."
[commentator 1] The prodigal son returns.
People said, "You are nuts. You are nuts."
[commentator 1] Can Beckham put this one right on the money?
He can!
Wonderful delivery from David Beckham in Real Madrid's search,
maybe, just maybe, for the title.
Maybe I just felt that I needed to prove a point.
[commentator 2] There's a freshness about his play.
There's a spring in his step.
[commentator 1] Terrific play from Beckham.
[lively rock music continues]
[Mark] Reaction from the Spanish press.
Right. It says, "The Bernabéu's in love with Beckham."
[Tim] All of a sudden, we look like the smartest guys in the room.
[commentator 1] In by Beckham. Great cross!
Brilliant goal!
Everyone's looking at us, going, "Oh my God. You got David Beckham."
"He's in prime shape."
I'm like, "That's not what you said three months ago."
[rock music continues]
[man] Did he ever come to you and say, "Sorry, David. I was wrong"?
- No. No. - [man chuckles]
[music ends]
[horns blowing]
♪ David! David! Beckham! Beckham! ♪
[screaming]
Okay. Sorry, I thought we were rehearsing. Sorry. Okay.
A few months ago, David Beckham was heading to one of football's backwaters,
the United States, where it had appeared his football career
would gradually grind to a halt.
Yet here I ham... Sorry.
Yet here I am, heading to one of Madrid's most important matches of the season,
and fans around me are pretty much in agreement
that Beckham will be one of the most important players on the pitch.
[tense, dramatic music playing]
[commentator 1] Live pictures from the Bernabéu on the final night of La Liga.
If Real Madrid beat Mallorca, they are champions of Spain.
[commentator 2] David Beckham would win his first medal
in Spain in his last match.
He's struggled with an ankle injury this week, but will take center stage.
I tell you what, Hollywood should get over the story of David Beckham, shouldn't it?
We also have heard that Roberto Carlos plays his last game.
[Roberto speaking Spanish] We wanted to win the league
and leave with our heads held high.
[commentator 3] He'd love to sign out on a winning note.
Tom Cruise sitting in there.
He'll be one of his neighbors, one of the Beckhams' neighbors, shortly in LA.
[tense, dramatic music continues]
It's the biggest game in town.
[commentator 2] It's the biggest game on the planet this weekend.
Roberto Carlos is...
seeking Beckham.
Great control from Beckham.
[David] But also...
[commentator 2]This place is buzzing.
...Figo left, Ronaldo left, Zizou left,
so I was the only "Galáctico" kind of left.
[commentator 2] It's in the script that Beckham scores tonight.
How many important goals has he scored over the years?
It's Beckham! Whoo-hoo!
So it should have been the perfect way
to finish my Real Madrid career.
[tense music becomes more dramatic]
[commentator 2] Onside. Mallorca spoil the party!
This wasn't in the script.
[music stops]
What does the body language of Fabio Capello tell you? Arms crossed.
If you go back,
you can see David ran, not ran really well.
[melancholic music playing]
[David] All of a sudden, my Achilles gave way.
And that was the end of the game for me.
[Fabio speaking Italian] I had to replace him.
[commentator 2] And the career of David Beckham in European football
comes to a rather sad end.
[David] It just wasn't meant to be.
[commentator 2] The fairy tale finishes with the season undecided for Real Madrid.
[melancholic music continues]
[David] But this moment...
it's not about me.
It's about the team.
Our strength was not individual.
So I said, "Guys...
together...
we are our strength."
[commentator 2] Robinho.
Now it's Higuaín. Right!
The fight is on! Reyes with his first touch!
It was a family.
[commentator 2] Roberto Carlos comes back. Well, he's still got it.
He may be playing his final game in the all-white of Real Madrid.
[speaking Spanish] We were a team of friends.
[commentator 2] Real Madrid are champions!
It's not David Beckham who's the hero.
It's José Antonio Reyes.
And I look up and I see Victoria, the kids.
[whistle blows]
[commentator 2] The celebrations begin! Real Madrid are champions again!
And there's gonna be a party like even the Beckhams have never thrown.
[sirens blaring]
[melancholic music continues]
[indistinct shouting]
[Míchel] That night,
I saw the proper David. [chuckles]
The real David.
[cheering]
[Míchel] Beckham. Becks.
[in Spanish] ♪ It's over! It's over! ♪
♪ The fight is over! ♪
[Míchel speaking Spanish] Becks, are you happy?
- No. - [Míchel] No? Not much?
A little.
But maybe after...
Maybe after that night...
if we go to David and say, "Look, David, stay."
"There's nothing bigger now than Real Madrid."
"And maybe stay a little bit longer to win more trophies."
"Whatever you have agreed, or whatever you..."
-"Talk to your family. Stay." - [contemplative piano music playing]
[people cheering]
[Tim] Suddenly, David was in favor.
So he was going in to have one final meeting with them.
So, this is the day of reckoning.
[man speaking Spanish] An exemplary sportsman, here for the past four years...
[Fabio speaking Italian] I said, "Are you sure about this?"
"You will be going to a league that has no value."
[man Speaking Spanish] We will always remember him...
[Victoria] I was ready to leave.
And I, as you know, I went ahead, I put the kids in school,
I bought a house, I decorated the house for us as a family.
[camera shutters clicking]
[man] David.
David.
[man 2] David, please.
[man] All of Madridismo is, uh, asking themselves,
"Can't you stay two or three more years?"
Which is what everyone thinks that you have in you.
But David's smart, and he remembers they benched him.
[chuckling]
["Superstar (Remember How You Got Where You Are)" by The Temptations]

[reporter 1] Welcome to the KCAL 9 News at 4:00.
Our big story on this Friday, soccer fans on fire with excitement.
David Beckham is finally here.
[Victoria] I remember us getting in the car,
and there was a helicopter that was filming
us going from the airport to our house.
I mean, it was bizarre. It was like, "Really? Is it that interesting?"
[reporter 2] Welcome to the Home Depot Center.
This would be the biggest news conference for a sports star ever seen in LA.
The newest member of the LA Galaxy, Mr. David Beckham.
♪ Superstar ♪
[David] My family have now moved to Los Angeles.
The most important thing is my family.
The second thing is the foot... is the soccer.
[Fisher] Did you have friends in LA that you would call? Like, "What do I do?"
[sighs] Well, the funny thing was...
♪ Down, down, down ♪
♪ Drummer keep it going ♪
I was friends with Tom Cruise.
I remember Tom turning around and saying, "Me and Will are gonna throw you a party."
I was like, "Will?" He said, "Will Smith."
[Fisher] Do you remember that there was a welcome party?
[chuckling]
That's not an efficient enough title for what it was.
♪ Remember how you got where you are ♪
It was like an after-Oscars party or something.
♪ Superstar, good God Do you know... ♪
It was like being in Madame Tussauds. Everywhere you looked, famous person.
And we're just obviously sat, stood there like that.
We had to make a circle for Tom Cruise so he can redo the choreography
for the Risky Business, like, dance scene.
Next minute, the piano starts going
and Stevie Wonder starts singing him "Happy Birthday."
And I was like, "Fuck this." You know what I mean?
He's gone. We've lost him.
[music fades out]
[commentator 1] RFK Stadium in Washington DC is sold out tonight.
45,000 people hoping to see David Beckham's debut.
The latest on David Beckham, he is available for selection.
He will not start the match, but he does expect to play.
[slow, tense music playing]
[Franklin] It's a gamble to try to become the Messiah of American soccer.
He was risking everything by coming here.
[commentator 1] And we are set for the kick-off.
Like, if it didn't work out, it would make him the laughingstock of the world.
[commentator 1] Great to have you along on this hot and sticky night,
with a threat of thunderstorms at some points.
[Fisher] Do you think that David was a bit shocked
at how, kind of...
I don't want to say it, but maybe--
How shitty the... [chuckling] the setup was?
[suspenseful music playing]
[Franklin] MLS has this crazy salary cap,
which meant that you can really only afford to pay
some guys $13,000 a year.
[commentator 1] David Beckham up,
doing a little warm-up here for the first time tonight.
[Franklin] So the MLS needed to change the rules,
which meant one player would exist outside this salary cap,
which was called the David Beckham rule.
And so he was stuck with these crappy-ass journeymen.
There were some players in the team that were pool cleaners or gardeners.
I actually... I didn't believe it.
[commentator 1] A collision there.
[Kyle] When he was using the bathroom,
we timed it and calculated how much money he made
while he was in the stall.
And it was multiples
of what some of the guys in those lockers made in a year.
[commentator 1] Here's Martino.
[Fisher] The first time you saw the Galaxy play, did you not go,
"David, this is fucking shit football"?
From my level, who am I to say that? They were better than me.
- [Fisher] You weren't even that good? - [chuckling]
The pool cleaner, bro, is playing.
[commentator 1] Still on the attack. Blasting away.
And that one is into the back of the net, off the hands of Cannon!
I actually went out with him for his first game.
[suspenseful music continues]
I did sit there and think, "What have you done?"
[commentator 2] He looks ticked off.
He looks like he's upset about what he's seeing out there.
That was hard for him, because David was just the ultimate perfectionist.
[commentator 1] And Beckham is coming on.
It's like one of the Beatles has appeared. I mean...
I think everyone thought, "Oh, they're gonna win everything now
because they have one great player."
- [music becomes more dramatic] - [commentator 1] Galaxy with a corner.
[David] When I was playing these balls, normally I knew
that there was a player running.
I'd play the ball... and there'd be no one there.
[commentator 2] Not a lot of correlation between what he's trying to do
and who he's trying to find.
I don't think they figured it out.
And we played on pitches that still had American football lines,
and it was confusing.
[commentator 2] Just outside the 18.
Maybe Beckham wants it all to himself. He is certainly...
[Landon] He's probably never watched an American football game.
He's... [chuckling], "What the fuck are these lines doing on the field?"
Gotta figure out-- He didn't know where the ball's out of bounds.
He probably stopped and the out-of-bounds was out there.
[commentator 2] Great little move here from Donovan.
Looking for Beckham, but he's not there.
It was a disaster.
[commentator 3] Into the near post, and into the goal!
One-nil!
We sucked. We did.
[dramatic music playing]
[commentator 3] Yes! Yessssss!
We were not getting any better. It was a bad time for us.
[commentator 3] A counter. Onside. Altidore, yessss!
[Fisher] You experienced the longest non-winning streak of your career,
Twelve games. Do you remember that low?
Yeah, I remember us... I don't remember the number,
but I obviously do now, thanks for that.
[commentator 1] Chivas up three-nil.
[commentator 2] Good Lord.
[David] Got to where it was embarrassing.
[commentator 2] It's embarrassing.
It could not get any worse for the Galaxy right now.
[David] We wasn't getting any better.
- So I wasn't that happy. - [music stops]
I was so happy. So happy.
[indistinct chatter and laughter]
- [David laughs] - [cheerful scream]
[Victoria] LA, it was a great place to live.
What up?
[contemplative music playing]
[Victoria] I've got my family together.
[David] Can you do your penguin swim?
[Cruz] Yeah.
[David] Now, here's Romeo Beckham at the FA Cup Final.
Who you gonna kick it like?
David Beckham.
- [Victoria] And I... - [David] Whoaaaa.
...let go of a lot of pain.
[contemplative music continues]
I remember someone saying to me once that LA is like rehab for famous people.
That's why we always see people walking in Malibu in Ugg boots and tracksuits.
[Victoria] Look at me. Wave. Say, "It's my first day of school."
[Victoria] The schools were great.
There was a private driveway, so paparazzi couldn't get into the school.
We still got attention.
But, you know, when you've got Tom Cruise rocking up to a restaurant,
who cares if the Beckhams go?
Everything was a lot easier for us as a family.
[kids shouting]
[David] Good boy, Romeo.
[whistle blows]
Romeo.
[Victoria] Well done.
I definitely felt at peace.
[contemplative music continues]
Finally, we seemed settled.
[music stops]
But it's like that saying, you know?
"When there's an itch that needs scratching..."
[reporter] The BBC has learned that the next England manager
is expected to be named later today.
Well, he's a world-class manager.
We're confident he's the right man to lead us forward.
[Fisher] So, explain how managing England came to him.
They'd never had a foreigner.
[Fabio speaking Italian] No, I wasn't the first.
There was...
a Swedish one before me.
- [Fisher] First Italian. - Yeah. Yes.
[dramatic violin music playing]
[David] When Fabio Capello became England manager,
he said, "If you want to make the World Cup squad,
this is what you have to do."
[Fabio speaking Italian] I told him that, in my opinion,
he needed to return back to reality.
[chuckling]
He said, "You have to play for a European club at the highest level."
"How about AC Milan?"
And I was like, "Okay."
And Victoria totally understood.
[music stops]
"Wh-- What do you mean you wanna go to Milan?"
"Like, we've just moved from one side of the world to the other for you."
[people shouting]
What I signed up for was us being in LA as a family.
So I didn't expect to turn up in LA,
have everything perfect, and then he go,
"Oh, guess what. Surprise! I'm going away again."
[journalist] You guys just moved to the States.
You moved your family here. Was it worth the move?
Without a doubt. I think it couldn't have gone any better, you know? Obviously...
[Victoria] It was going to be another time
when I was left at home on my own with the kids,
because the kids had to stay in LA. They were in school.
Yeah. America is a wonderful country.
We love it. Our kids love it.
I respected his career and always have done, immensely,
but not again.
- I was really upset. - [quiet, dramatic music playing]
And off he went.
[David] Selfishly, that was me saying, "Doesn't matter what any of you think."
"This is what I need to do."
I wasn't thinking about my teammates.
I wasn't thinking about my family.
I was thinking about me.
If there's an opportunity to play for my country in a World Cup...
[whistle blows]
...I will do whatever I can to make that happen.
[music stops]
But I never wanted to leave LA.
[Fisher] Well, except when you tried to stay in Milan.
[indistinct chatter]
[journalist] Your lawyers are talking to Galaxy about the possibility
of making a permanent transfer.
Can you confirm it's your ambition?
You know, I think I've enjoyed my time. I knew I was going to enjoy it,
but I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I have.
And at the moment, you know, I've expressed my desire
to stay at AC Milan now.
[quiet, dramatic music playing]
"What do you mean?"
Well, David Beckham, we hardly knew you.
Beckham wants out.
The Galaxy made the mistake of lending him to powerhouse AC Milan.
He wants to make a more permanent move across the pond.
Let the lawsuits begin!
Hey, well, I thought he was into the whole hanging out with Tom Cruise...
Yeah. The Hollywood thing. Yeah.
[commentator 1 speaking Italian] Left for Milan. Beckham tries to score... and scores!
Fantastic move from David Beckham!
It was frustrating, really frustrating,
because I felt like if we're gonna deal with all the other shit,
he better show up and play.
Like, that's the least that he can do.
[commentator 2] Donovan.
[Franklin] Landon Donovan was the best homegrown talent we had.
[commentator 2] He's hurdled.
[Franklin] He's not like these $13,000-a-year players.
He could make it, theoretically, anywhere, and he chose to play at home.
So it's pretty easy to see...
[commentator 2] Cuts inside. Donovan!
[Franklin] ...how that could have rubbed him the wrong way.
[commentator 2] Landon Donovan says, "We're not done!"
Even though it's a shitty little MLS team that he doesn't really care about,
but it meant a lot to me.
[commentator 3] Might fancy a shot. Beckham! Goal!
I've enjoyed myself so much here, you know, I'd like to stay for a while.
[music stops]
No.
Sorry, David.
[Fisher] He can't stay in Italy?
No. We owned him.
So it was like, "We're not doing it. Period."
[dramatic classical music playing]
[presenter] David Beckham, good morning. Welcome. Good to see you.
- And you. Yeah. - How you been? You were gone six months.
You've got three kids and a beautiful wife at home in LA. How did you manage that?
And I was frustrated.
I want to get to a bit of an uncomfortable subject,
because there were more reporters than normal at that practice
because of something one of your teammates, Landon Donovan,
said about you in a book that was not flattering.
He questioned your commitment to US soccer, your professionalism.
He even said you were stingy.
That could make for some testy times in the locker room.
[David] Landon felt that I abandoned the team.
I don't think he handled it in the right way.
[music continues]
David Beckham has called his LA Galaxy teammate Landon Donovan "unprofessional"
after the American publicly criticized the former England captain.
Whatever goes on in the changing room stays in the changing room.
I played for some of the biggest clubs in the world,
and not once in 17 years have I been criticized for my professionalism.
[David] If you've got something to say,
say it to my face.
[music stops]
And, um... [clears throat] it became real ugly real fast.
[distant crowd booing]
[slow, dramatic music playing]
[booing]
[Fisher] I've never seen American fans boo a home-team player as badly as that.
- Do you remember that? - Oh, yeah.
[Kyle] It was just the vitriol that was getting tossed at him.
They... obviously were really upset about me.
And, by the way, I agree with them.
I would feel exactly the same.
So I get it,
but I wasn't going to take that from my own fans.
[slow, dramatic music continues]
[Tim] That's when I said, "Fuck this shit."
- We were not a team. - [music stops]
And we said, "Okay, this ain't the circus."
[camera shutters clicking]
[Landon] Our coach sends me and David a text.
It says, "I want to speak to you guys in the morning before practice."
I said, "David, what I said, I felt and I believe and it's my truth."
"I should never have said that publicly,
and I should have just said it to you, and I'm sorry."
And in that moment, if it were me on that side of the table,
I would have said, "Fuck you. I can't believe you did this to me."
And he said...
"I get it, and I respect that you're saying that to me."
[slow, dramatic music playing]
[Landon] Then our coach said something I'll never forget.
He said, "David, to Landon, this is his Manchester United."
"You grew up in Manchester United..."
I get chills talking about it, 'cause for David, that was everything.
"This is what you care about. I get it."
Then I remembered my responsibility to the MLS.
[commentator 1] We know what David Beckham can do, can bend it over the wall easily.
[David] I remembered my responsibility to my family.
I had to make it work.
[commentator 1] Beckham's shot. David Beckham!
His first of the year!
[commentator 2] Wow! Wow, wow!
Who has shown up today to play?
- Oh, man! What a goal! - [music becomes more dramatic]
I could feel it. He was on a mission, and I was on a mission.
[commentator 2] Donovan keeps it in. Donovan. To the top. Beckham!
[David] All of a sudden, we were a team.
Landon and David put their shit aside, stopped bitching at each other,
and started playing.
And then everything clicked.
We were a friggin' football club.
[commentator 3] It's Beckham!
It's a superb goal!
I loved that team. They were fucking warriors.
[commentator 3] This is a big night. Is there a sense of destiny in the air
for LA Galaxy and David Beckham?
And Donovan has scored! Oh, can you believe this?
Winning the MLS Cup was probably one of the most rewarding moments of my career.
[commentator 4] Galaxy are champions!
- [dramatic music continues] - [crowd cheering]
[music stops]
[David] I think I stood there on the pitch and went,
"It worked."
I didn't obviously say that.
Well, welcome to the White House, everybody.
[person cheering]
And congratulations to the LA Galaxy on your MLS Cup.
Um, we also have a young up-and-comer on the team,
a-- a guy named David Beckham.
- [audience laughs] - Um...
I have to say, I gave David a hard time.
Uh, I said half his teammates could be his kids.
[audience laughs]
Um, we're getting old, David.
Although you're holding up better than me.
[Fisher] Do you remember when you first started to think about retiring?
'Cause I know you're the kind of guy who doesn't ever want to stop.
No, I didn't ever want to stop.
After five years, David Beckham is hanging up his American soccer jersey.
The British soccer superstar played his final Major League Soccer game last night
and even managed to go home on a high note.
But the soccer star says he's not ready to leave the sport just yet.
I never thought about retirement.
I wanted to play until I literally couldn't walk anymore.
That was me.
[playing lively tune]
[Victoria] And at that point, we decided it was time to go home.
We hadn't seen our families for a long time.
So we moved back to the UK...
and he pulls a David Beckham special.
"I'm moving."
- [camera shutters clicking] - [people chattering]
[David] I get the phone call from Paris.
They say, "Do you want to come and help give us a boost?"
"You know, we haven't won the league for 18 years."
Even before he'd even asked me, my mind was made up.
[journalists] David!
- [journalist] David, please! - [journalists] David!
I was like... [whispering] "What the fuck?"
[chuckling] Like, I laugh about it now, but I was like,
"Seriously? Really? You're... Really?"
Yeah, but I liked the move to Paris. I liked the fact that he wasn't retiring.
[quiet, dramatic classical music playing]
[David] I think I loved the game more than anyone has ever loved it.
That's what I think.
I know it's not true, but I think that I loved the game more than anyone.
But I felt different.
My body felt different.
I was waking up after games, I felt beaten up.
I felt every time that I was getting out of bed,
I was aching, I was hurting.
I'd roll out of bed in the mornings
because I just was in so much pain.
[Victoria] He looked shattered.
I remember seeing him walk off, and he looked up at me,
and I remember thinking, "It's time."
"You're tired. It's time."
- So coming to that decision was, um... - [quiet, dramatic classical music stops]
It was actually a really tough one.
Former England captain David Beckham is retiring from football.
The former England captain on 59 occasions.
He won 115 caps for his country.
[distant crowd cheering]
[David] I'd been emotional from the moment I decided.
[inhales deeply]
So, um...
[crowd chanting]
The manager said to me before the game,
"Ten minutes before the end of the game, I'll bring you off
'cause it's the right thing to do. You deserve it, to come off like that."
At that point, we'd already won the league.
[commentator] Beckham.
[speaking French] What a super ball over the top!
[David] So when it came to this moment,
all of a sudden, I couldn't breathe and I couldn't control my emotions.
[crowd chanting]
[quiet, dramatic music playing]
When I finally come off, I completely lose it.
[commentator speaking French] That's it. It's the end of a career, immense career.
An immense player, an immense global star, hangs up his boots.
Monsieur David Beckham!
[David] But as much as it hurt me,
knowing I was never going to play football again...
[music becomes more dramatic]
...I knew that I'd made the right decision.
[cheering]
[music stops]
On a Saturday morning, I just potter around this place.
I love it. It's kind of my escape.
[sizzling]
I'm in here from, like, 11 till nine o'clock at night,
ten o'clock at night, later sometimes, just grilling.
That's all I do.
I bring my iPad, we watch the football, so it's good.
- Did you put thyme in there as well? - Yep. Yes, chef.
[chuckling]
[David] We've tried to give our children the most normal upbringing as possible.
But you've got a dad that was England captain
and you've got a mum that was Posh Spice.
[Brooklyn] Ah, rolling his little trolley over.
[Cruz] He wakes up at 6:00 a.m. every morning just to start the fire.
[David] But I actually do.
I know that. That's what I was saying.
But you're saying it in a sarcastic way.
[Cruz] No. I was saying it in, like, a...
- In a what? In a loving way? - [Cruz] In a loving way.
You can't try and be funny with these... That little thing you've got going on.
- [David] The little tuft under his chin? - I know. I know.
- And they could be... - [quiet, contemplative music playing]
...little shits, and they're not.
- [Harper] Is that cooked? - It's all cooked.
- Do you want to taste a bit? - Sure.
[David] And that's why I say that I'm so proud of my children.
[laughter]
- You always eat nicely. - Can I eat a bit of the skin?
You can eat whatever you want.
- Can I eat this bit? - Yep.
[David] And I'm so... [inhales deeply]
in awe of my children, the way they've turned out.
You-- You're rowing the wrong way.
- [Victoria] He seems to be going that way. - You twat.
[Fisher] Look at him. He's a disaster.
- Don't film this! It's embarrassing! - [man] Sorry.
[Fisher] Dude.
[Victoria] It's only embarrassing if you fall in.
Where's the other oar?
[quiet, contemplative music continues]
[indistinct chatter]
[music stops]
Darling, your mussels are ready.
I probably didn't realize half of what I've talked about
until I sort of started this,
um...
What shall we call it? This, uh...
What should we call it? Therapy.
["Islands in the Stream" by Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers playing]
[Victoria] Oh, Kenny Rogers!
[Victoria] I feel at peace with a lot of what,
maybe in our first session,
was still a lot of pent-up anger, frustration.
I understand it now.
[indistinct chatter]
[David] It has been some form of therapy, this.
When I've looked back and I see footage of her on the phone to me, saying,
"Hi, babes!" And she doesn't talk like she does now, by the way.
- She was a lot more common than now. - I don't know how that happened.
I don't know what... She's never had any kind of elocution lessons.
- That's how you say it, right? - I'm so glad you know what that means.
[chuckling]
I think--
By the way, I sound exactly the same as I did when I was 13.
[Fisher] I think your voice got a little deeper.
Yeah, it was quite high-pitched.
[indistinct chatter]
[David] Going through every part of my life,
it has given me clarity on many things.
And one of the things is, which is...
Which is the most important thing to me is what we've... what we've got.

[humming]
♪ Islands in the stream ♪

[Victoria] Why I feel happy now is I feel really content now.
And I think I get that sense that you feel... [inhales deeply] content now.
When we were younger, you were constantly chasing,
and there's an element of, you're passing the baton on a little.
And you want that for your kids, wouldn't you say?
Yeah. I'm not ready to pass the baton on yet.
["Islands in the Stream" continues]
[music stops]
[slow, contemplative music playing]
[Eric] Football, it's, uh... it's like a drug.
When we retired from football...
we don't have this adrenaline.
Which is a strong drug, I think.
- [crowd cheering] - [commentator] Beckham!
[Eric] Physiologically, we can feel it inside of us, you know?
Yeah. We all miss the crowd, because the crowd gives you the adrenaline.
[commentator shouting]
That's the difficulty when you've retired from football.
Your body has to accept it.
[Gary] I genuinely believe all football players are addicts.
We've got that adrenaline, that addictive mindset of something.
We have to have something.
[music stops]
You know, I thought I'd probably made my last selfish decision
going to Paris, for me.
It wasn't.
He's captained his country, become a global brand,
but now that he's hung up his boots, what does David Beckham plan to do next?
["Happy Together" by The Turtles playing]
Today he's confirmed he's heading back to the United States
to start a new Major League Soccer team based in Miami.
But has Goldenballs still got the Midas touch? [chuckling]
