• Vasily Frolov – a goalkeeper, grandson of Lev Ivanovich Yashin, Anton Shunin – a Russian football player, goalkeeper and captain of Moscow’s “Dynamo”, and Vladimir Pilguy – a Soviet football player, goalkeeper, successor to Lev Yashin and a member of the USSR national team and Moscow’s “Dynamo” club – served as consultants on the film.
• Work on the film took four years. Most of that time was spent in pre-production: the goalkeeper Valentin Yashin's widow approved script variations that were rewritten to ensure historical accuracy and preserve important details of the goalkeeper's biography.
• Igor Petrenko, Evgeny Tsyganov, and Grigory Dobrygin were all considered for the role of Lev Yashin.
• In the 105th minute, during the farewell match, the family of Yashin is shown in the stands in a mirror image: from left to right – his daughters and wife, although before and after they are seated in a different order.
