Caroline Weir: The story of Scotland’s Real Madrid Galactica & Ballon d’Or nominee

Getting to where she is – a 109-time Scotland international and history-maker with Real – has not come without its challenges, though.

She had to fight back the tears when recalling her ACL surgery after an injury sustained on Scotland duty in 2023, while mum Mhairi shared the struggles the then-teenager faced settling into London life with Arsenal.

The bright light during that period, though, was driving through London in a maroon Fiat Cinquecento – the car from The Inbetweeners – and being questioned on arrival at the training centre due to her young appearance.

The documentary does not leave a stone unturned in the life of one of Scotland’s true superstars and captures Weir’s humility.

From the importance of sourcing the perfect nail salon on her arrival in Spain – look your best to perform your best – to taking in walks with her beloved dachshund, Skye, the modest life in Madrid is shown.

That is, until a large storage box appears and she nonchalantly pulls out signed shirt after signed shirt from some of the game’s best.

A Kevin de Bruyne City top. One of John McGinn’s Aston Villa numbers – though that was more for super-fan husband Josh.

Or even a few Andy Murray training tops. They’ve become pals over the years, obviously. Tucked away in a tub rather than, understandably, on show.

There’s every chance, though, Weir has forgotten what she’s accumulated over the years.

She admitted the documentary detailing her life will remind her of moments, goals and games she has lost track of.

“It’s funny, because you do kind of forget things when you’re just in that cycle of football and that’s the most important thing – training and performing,” she said.

“I remember when they were filming in October and they were asking me all these different questions. It was sparking so many memories that I’d just kind of forgotten or moved on from.

“I’m sure, when I watch it, a lot of it will come back again.”
