A new era at Real Madrid began on 29 August 2010.
José Mourinho arrived at the Bernabéu after an extraordinary spell at Inter Milan, where he had just led the Italian club to the treble. Expectations were enormous, and his first competitive match in charge came away to Mallorca on the opening weekend of the 2010-11 La Liga season.
The result?
A frustrating 0-0 draw.
But the match marked the beginning of Mourinho's fascinating three-year spell in Madrid.
Mourinho's First Real Madrid XI
Mourinho's first competitive starting XI featured:
GK: Iker Casillas
RB: Álvaro Arbeloa
CB: Ricardo Carvalho
CB: Sergio Ramos
LB: Marcelo
CM: Lassana Diarra
CM: Xabi Alonso
AM: Sergio Canales
RW: Ángel Di María
LW: Cristiano Ronaldo
ST: Gonzalo Higuaín
Looking back at the team, there are plenty of fascinating details.
Mourinho had brought Ricardo Carvalho with him from Chelsea, reuniting with a defender he knew extremely well. Xabi Alonso provided the experience and control in midfield, while Ángel Di María was making his competitive debut for Real Madrid following his summer move from Benfica.
There was also a glimpse of the future in Sergio Canales, who was just 19 years old and had joined from Racing Santander that summer.
And, of course, there was Cristiano Ronaldo.
A Frustrating Start
Despite Real Madrid dominating possession and creating opportunities, they couldn't find the breakthrough.
Gonzalo Higuaín had chances to put Madrid ahead, while Ronaldo was also involved in the attacking play, but Mallorca defended resolutely.
The final whistle brought a 0-0 draw, meaning Mourinho had to wait for his first competitive victory as Real Madrid manager.
It wasn't the start he would have wanted, but it was the beginning of something much bigger.
The Beginning of Mourinho's Real Madrid Era
The 2010-11 season would see Mourinho begin to build a side capable of challenging Pep Guardiola's dominant Barcelona.
The team would evolve throughout the campaign. Mesut Özil and Sami Khedira would become important additions, while Di María established himself as one of Mourinho's key attacking players.
Ronaldo, meanwhile, was about to enter one of the most prolific periods of his career.
The season ultimately ended with Mourinho delivering silverware, as Real Madrid defeated Barcelona in the 2011 Copa del Rey Final.
From Mallorca to 100 Points
The 0-0 draw at Mallorca seems like a small moment when viewed alongside what followed.
Just two years later, Mourinho's Real Madrid would win La Liga with 100 points, scoring a remarkable 121 goals during the 2011-12 campaign.
The rivalry with Barcelona intensified, the Clasico became even more fiercely contested, and Mourinho's Real Madrid developed into one of the most recognisable teams in European football.
But it all started with a goalless draw on the island of Mallorca.
Looking Back at the XI
What makes this lineup particularly interesting is seeing the beginning of Mourinho's project before the team had fully taken shape.
Casillas remained the captain and leader. Ramos was beginning his journey towards becoming one of the greatest defenders in Real Madrid history. Alonso provided the control in midfield, while Ronaldo was already the superstar around whom much of the attack revolved.
There were also players whose Real Madrid stories would take very different paths, such as Canales and Diarra.
And then there was Di María, making his first competitive appearance for the club.
A 0-0 draw might not sound like the beginning of a memorable era.
But this was the first chapter of José Mourinho's Real Madrid story.
