The Ending

Well, that’s the main topic here. Let’s break it down. In the final episode, there are many sequences that seem fictional such as Sergio giving an inspiring speech to his players before the game. As revealed by the narrator, Lisa and Jashir were completely fictional. This suggests that in real life, Sergio never went through a catharsis where he threatened his own right-hand man or even tried to kill an FBI agent. The main purpose of this was to create an atmosphere of drama and suspense to give the viewers a thrill.

What happened in real life?

In real life, the situation was completely different. Sergio completely cooperated with the FBI. As a result, everyone involved in the scandal of CONMEBOL was convicted but managed to escape their trials by paying hefty fines. Some of them, who were opportunists, even took advantage of this situation and somehow managed to draw benefits out of it. As for the ANFP, it was left with a debt of billions, but strangely, when the books of their debt were settled, $3.5 million had disappeared into thin air.

El Presidente Ending

In the end, Nené decides to leave Sergio for good and starts working in KFC to stay afloat. While Sergio got away and had a fairly normal life after everything. This was the show’s ending.
