Summary

In the eighth episode of Legends of the World Cup, we travel between Tokyo and Barcelona to tell the story of Takefusa Kubo: the first Japanese player to train at FC Barcelona's La Masía academy, expelled from it due to an administrative error by his club, who crossed half of Europe before finding his definitive home at Real Sociedad and becoming the most elegant player in the Spanish league. An episode about patience, identity and what happens when a boy who learned football between two cultures fuses them into something entirely his own.
