Drug-lord Pablo Escobar dominated the 1980s, being the most feared man in Columbia, and arguably the world. Andres Escobar was a talented football player and face of the Columbian national football team. By 1994, Columbia was set to win the 1994 World Cup, but devastatingly lost when Andres scored a goal on their own side. When Andres is tragically murdered after the defeat, the greater Columbian drug cartel claims responsibility, showing how football and the underground world of narcos had more in common than once thought, and how these two men were fatefully tied together with the same name.
