"I Believe in Miracles" is a documentary that chronicles the remarkable journey of Nottingham Forest Football Club during the late 1970s. The film focuses on the team's charismatic manager, Brian Clough, and his loyal assistant, Peter Taylor, as they lead the club to achieve unprecedented success in European football.

The story begins in 1975 when Clough and Taylor are appointed as managers of struggling second division club, Nottingham Forest. Both men bring with them a unique and innovative approach to the game, characterized by Clough's brash and outspoken personality, and Taylor's astute tactical knowledge.

Despite initial doubts and skepticism from fans and the media, Clough and Taylor quickly turn the team's fortunes around. Forest gains promotion to the top flight of English football, the First Division, in their first season and shocks the footballing world by winning the league title the following year in 1978.

However, their sensational achievements in domestic league pale in comparison to their European success. Against all odds, Nottingham Forest conquers the European Cup, now known as the UEFA Champions League, in the 1978-79 season, defeating famous clubs like Liverpool, AEK Athens, and Koln in a series of thrilling matches.

Unsatisfied with just one European triumph, Clough and Taylor go on to lead Nottingham Forest to an unprecedented back-to-back European Cup win in 1979-80. They overcome mighty opponents such as Malmo FF, Dynamo Berlin, and Hamburg, showcasing their team's resilience and determination.

The documentary utilizes a combination of archival footage, interviews with former players, staff, and experts, as well as behind-the-scenes access to capture the essence of this historical period in football. It delves into the unique management style and tactics employed by Clough and Taylor, as well as the bonds forged between the players and the success they achieved together.

"I Believe in Miracles" celebrates the glorious era of Nottingham Forest, honoring the legacy of the team, and the extraordinary achievements of Clough and Taylor. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of teamwork, dedication, and the belief in achieving the seemingly impossible in the world of sport.
