It was about time for some sports drama! Netflix has just released “The Champion,” a Spanish film that delves into the dark side of football and how it affects its youngest stars.
The story revolves around Diego, a selfish and aggressive young player who has just been voted the best young player in Europe. At the age of 20, he is on his way to making his team, Atlético de Madrid, champions of La Liga. However, his bad temperament affects the club so much that a psychology professor is hired to improve his behavior, though it seems almost impossible.
Many are wondering about the cast that makes the movie, specifically who plays Diego. Here, learn all about Swit Eme.
Swit Eme’s age, nationality and beginnings
According to La Casa del Disco, Swit Eme, better known as Marcel Serrano, is a rapper born in the city of Barcelona in 1999, making him 25 years old. At the age of 13, he discovered a poetry book belonging to his grandfather, which inspired him to start writing his first poems while also delving into the world of Hip Hop and freestyle.
