The documentary, titled 'Diego Forlán's Ascent,' which reviews the career of the Uruguayan former footballer from his beginnings at Manchester United to his consolidation as an international figure with Atlético de Madrid and the Uruguay national team, was presented at the Espacio Movistar in the capital. The official premiere will be on Fanzone by M+ next Friday, June 26.

During the presentation, hosted by Noemí de Miguel, Forlán shared his emotion regarding the film's outcome. "It's very nice, I saw it yesterday and there were moments when I got very emotional," he stated, thanking the production team for capturing the essence of his career and life experiences, considering it "a good message for children."

Carlos Lorenzo, producer of the report and CEO of Lilicar Films, highlighted the educational purpose of the production, made in collaboration with Zoomsport Films. "'Diego Forlán's Ascent' is truly an educational document, to show that to become a great professional, you have to work hard, there are many failures, as seen in the documentary, but also a lot of effort to become who you are. And that is its greatest legacy," he explained.

The two-time Golden Boot winner and 2010 World Cup Golden Ball winner recalled key moments of his career. He recounted how, after being chosen as the best player of the South Africa World Cup, he decided to gift a replica of his Golden Ball to his Atlético de Madrid teammates after winning the Super Cup, a gesture that, according to 'La Tota' Lugano, spurred them to win the Copa América.
