Goal The Movie

Since I am not very much into movies and stuff so I watched goal the movie only a few days ago. It is no doubt a very great movie but I just wanted to ask if this player Santiago Munez is a real player or just a movie character and is this story real based or not. Plus I have heard about the releasing of Goal 2, so does anyone knows anything about that movie is it a sequel of goal 1. How about you people liked this movie or not.
