26 Pelotas. The Debt That Became a Legend.
Before Di María became one of the world’s top football stars, his first transfer was marked by a unique debt: 26 footballs. A payment Rosario Central still owed to Atlético El Torito for the young player’s transfer. Fast forward to today, and Netflix decided to settle this historic debt. In a true homage to Rosario’s roots, we handed over the 26 pelotas—symbols of sweat, glory, magic, dribbling, goals, celebrations, and achievements. These 26 pelotas may not have paid in cash, but they represent the 179 million that Di María has earned in transfer fees across his career. This is more than a debt settled; it’s a celebration of where it all began.
