Balague also currently works as an analyst for CBS Sports during their coverage of the Champions League.
The five-part docuseries starts at the group stage of the tournament in September.

Glasgow, Marseille, Milan, and Haifa are just a few of the cities that the reporter explores during the docuseries.
In the official trailer for Destination: European Nights, Balague emphasizes how the series affected how he will remember the 2023/23 Champions League season. He claims that he may not remember the exact scores of the matches, but he will certainly remember his experiences with fans and the atmosphere inside the stadiums.
