Its been fifteen years that this lie has lasted : Patrice Evra settles scores with Domenech on Netflix in an explosive documentary dedicated to Knysna

Sixteen years after the scandal that rocked the French national football team at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Netflix is revisiting the behind-the-scenes of this dark chapter in French football history. The trailer for the documentary “Le bus: les Bleus en grève”, available on May 13, was unveiled by the streaming platform on Wednesday, April 29. Despite the passing years, the animosity between Patrice Evra and Raymond Domenech seems to still be present.

“I never wanted to talk about it again,” says Patrice Evra in the trailer for the Netflix documentary “Le bus: les Bleus en grève”. “I had forgotten the violence of this story,” he adds during the trailer released on April 29 at noon. The documentary, available starting May 13, revisits one of the biggest shipwrecks in French football history during the 2010 World Cup.

Recall that during the World Cup in South Africa, the French national team is amidst internal crisis. After the exclusion of Nicolas Anelka following his altercation with Raymond Domenech, the players refuse to train on the field and remain on the bus. The controversy grows in the small town of Knysna and becomes a state affair. The media coverage is very important and the latest events make headlines in both the press and television news.

In this documentary, key figures from the Knysna scandal reflect on this particularly tense moment. Patrice Evra, William Gallas, Djibril Cissé, Raymond Domenech, as well as journalists from that time, are invited to react to exclusive documents regarding the affair. In the trailer, they can be seen reacting to certain videos and press articles from the time, showing the media impact of the scandal.

The objective of the documentary is to uncover the behind-the-scenes of the scandal that shook French football in 2010. This documentary will be released on May 13 on the streaming platform, just under a month before the start of the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The trailer has already accumulated 160,000 views on Instagram in two hours on Netflix France’s account.
