How to watch 'Now or Never: FC Montfermeil' online from anywhere
A talent factory in eastern Paris, FC Montfermeil is an amateur club that punches well above its weight, its teams competing at various age levels with the likes of PSG, Lille and Lens. William Saliba cut his teeth at Henri Vidal Stadium and, over the course of a season, "Now or Never: FC Montfermeil" documents the euphoric highs and crushing lows of the hopefuls aiming to emulate the Arsenal and France star.

French grassroots soccer was having a moment long before PSG won the Champions League, but even then, only a minuscule number of top prospects will be offered a professional contract.
"Now or Never: FC Montfermeil" follows the richly talented under-17s, who are only just coming of age but are already fighting a losing battle. If they don't catch the eye of a major club this season, they'll have next to no hope of making it. It's not until you consider that Montfermeil is one of Paris' most deprived suburbs that you understand the juncture these kids are really standing at.
One mistake is enough for a scout to go cold on a player, so not only must they perform at their very best in every single game — against equally gifted and hungry prospects — but they must also prepare for the worst, by acing their exams. The brutal truth is that the final, decisive rejection that's coming most of these young men's way will haunt them for the rest of their lives.

The night Botafogo put Paris Saint-Germain in the ‘cemetery of favourites'
The first thing you heard was the drums: the rat-tat-tat of the pandeiro, the bone-shaking thunder of the surdo. Later, after the rhythm section had moved from the concourse to the stands, they unfurled their banners, black and white, declarations of love draped over railings and barriers. They came in hope. Hope that their team, South America's champions, could bloody the nose of Europe's best. They knew it would be a tough task, knew that Paris Saint-Germain can biff you up in about 21 different ways, but knew, too, that they stood a puncher's chance. Advertisement 'Nothing is impossible,' central midfielder Allan had insisted on the eve of the game. His coach, Renato Paiva, had put it more pointedly: 'The cemetery of football is full of favourites.' Botafogo had beaten Seattle Sounders in their Club World Cup opener but only just, stumbling over the line, 2-1. 'Funereal,' Paiva had called the atmosphere in the changing room after that match. Here, in the California sunshine, they started as if they had a point to prove, if only to themselves. PSG dominated possession. That was to be expected. But they kept banging against the brick wall of the Botafogo defence, Alexander Barboza and 20-year-old Jair Cunha tremendous. The midfielders — Gregore, Marlon Freitas, Allan — snapped away, three little bear traps. 'They're going to cause us different problems than European teams,' PSG coach Luis Enrique had said on Wednesday. He was right. Botafogo sat deep, suffered, took the knocks that came and deserved their 1-0 win. They were only ever going to get a couple of chances. It turned out that only needed one. Playmaker Jefferson Savarino — 'Our magician,' in the words of left-back Alex Telles — pulled a rabbit out of the hat, releasing Igor Jesus with a pass that split the Parisian defence. The striker did the rest, firing home via a deflection and careening into the embrace of the first rows, beyond delirious. Hope slowly began to transmute into belief. Botafogo made it to half-time, then nearly scored again through Savarino just after the break. Luis Enrique sent on the cavalry, trying to shake his team into life, but the game retained the same pattern, PSG banging on the door, Botafogo telling them to do one. Some context here. Botafogo may be Brazilian and South American champions, but we are not talking about a giant club. The history books tell tales of Garrincha and Nilton Santos, but of decades of mediocrity. Some Brazilian giants — Palmeiras, Flamengo — look a lot like the top European operations in terms of finances and infrastructure; Botafogo are not close to being on that level. They are, by number of fans, only the 10th biggest club in Brazil. Advertisement Their success over the last 18 months has been an incredible story. Impetus has come from pugnacious American owner John Textor but also from the players themselves. This is by no means a squad of stars — the most recognisable names are Allan and Telles, both on the downslope after playing in Europe — but there is a remarkable feeling of unity pulsing through everything they do. Even managerial changes have done little to shake the foundations. Now, perhaps, you can better understand the jubilant scenes at the final whistle — why Igor Jesus sank to his knees, why Textor was whooping and hollering, why Barboza, a big granite plinth of a man, pointed skyward. This was not just a blow struck for the South American game, an anti-imperialist gesture. It was the latest chapter in a great underdog tale. 'Madness — we can't believe it,' Uruguayan forward Santiago Rodriguez, said, laughing. 'Historic,' Barboza called it. Winger Artur, a thorn in PSG's side all night, looked a lot like he needed a lie-down. 'This is an unforgettable night,' he said. 'We'll remember this for the rest of our lives.' Then there was Freitas, the captain, glassy-eyed, the emotion of it all cracking his voice. 'It's… supernatural,' he told Globo. 'We knew it would be hard. I believe Botafogo had a one per cent chance of winning this match today. But one per cent for us is a lot.' He spoke to a soundtrack that had been playing since before kick-off, that booming thudpocalype from the stands. Half an hour later, with every bemused PSG fan long gone, they were still there, the Botafogo fans, gripping their flags and their instruments, drumming and dreaming.

🎥 Club World Cup shock: PSG out, Botafogo through, brawl in stands 🤯
Plot twist at the Club World Cup: PSG falls in Pasadena at the hands of Botafogo, which is the first team to qualify for the round of 16. In the clash between the European champions and the South American champions, the Brazilians prevail thanks to a goal by Igor Jesus in the 36th minute, finishing a counterattack initiated by Saverino with a low right-footed shot: Donnarumma is caught off guard by a deflection from Pacho. Advertisement A victory achieved more through sacrifice and organization than spectacle. PSG, strangely disorganized and ineffective, suffers from rotations and a sterile offensive maneuver. In the second half, Luis Enrique tries to revolutionize the team but to no avail. Noteworthy in the same match were disturbances in the stands, where Botafogo and PSG fans ended up fighting. The group is completely reopened also thanks to Atlético Madrid, which celebrates its first victory at the Club World Cup by defeating the Seattle Sounders 3‑1. Pablo Barrios scores a brace in the 11th and 55th minutes, while Axel Witsel doubles shortly after the start of the second half. Seattle shortens the gap with Rusnák in the 50th minute, but it is not enough to reopen the game. The Colchoneros show a reaction of pride after the defeat to PSG, demonstrating greater intensity, control, and a desire to get back in the game. Now PSG needs to win against Seattle to avoid the risk of elimination; if victory does not come, at least a favorable result from Botafogo against Atletico would guarantee progression to the next round.
