Case Study
Take the Ball, Pass the Ball Universal Pictures

Take the Ball, Pass the Ball

In 2012, we published Barca: The Making of the Greatest Team in the World, which profiled FC Barcelona's incredible success under Pep Guardiola. The book was a huge critical and commercial success, winning multiple awards and being translated into 13 languages. 

The book was optioned by Zoom Sports, who we worked with closely on the production of Take the Ball, Pass the Ball, released by Universal Pictures in 2018. 

BackPage were a creative driving force behind both the book and the film.
