Saint-Étienne 1976, Hulk Hogan and Paul Magnier: sport docs to watch this week | OneFootball

According to L'Équipe, three standout sports documentaries land this week, spanning Saint-Étienne’s 1976 odyssey, Hulk Hogan’s tumultuous life and Paul Magnier’s rise.

Tuesday 12 May marks 50 years since the Glasgow European Cup final, a 1-0 loss to Bayern Munich. Vincent Dupouy’s Saint-Étienne 76, une passion française is on France.tv and airs Thursday at 22:50 on France 3, featuring Hervé Revelli, Dominique Rocheteau, Jacques Vendroux, Vincent Duluc, supporters and chef Pierre Gagnaire.

On Netflix, Hulk Hogan, Real American, a four-part film by Bryan Skortel, begins and ends with Hogan’s funeral after a fatal cardiac arrest in July 2025. It offers a full portrait, from shy kid to wrestling icon and actor, and tackles his 2024 support for Donald Trump, steroid use, a sex tape, racist remarks and recurring injuries, while his ex-wife Linda recalls a gentler home life.

Louis Fabre’s Paul Magnier, l’autre phénomène follows the 22-year-old sprinter, released midweek. He heads to Nessebar, Bulgaria, on Friday for his second Giro after 19 wins in 2025 and two so far in 2026, with Thomas Voeckler tipping Magnier and Paul Seixas to drive French cycling, and contributions from Pierre Rolland and Philippe Gilbert.

Magnier is strikingly candid, from a training crash on icy Isère roads and a flash of frustration to later admitting he still lacks maturity. He fronts up to early-season results, 11th at Het Nieuwsblad and 58th at In Flanders Fields, and dinners with his parents in Grenoble reveal a grounded character.
