Mesut Ozil is a German professional footballer who currently plays as an attacking midfielder for Fenerbahce S.K. in the Turkish Super Lig.

He is widely recognized for his exceptional passing ability, vision, and technical skills on the field. But do you know when Ozil made his debut for Real Madrid?

Ozil joined Real Madrid in 2010 from Werder Bremen for a transfer fee of approximately €15 million, making him one of the most expensive German footballers of all time at that point. He was signed by then-Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho, who was impressed by Ozil’s performances at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Ozil’s first match with Real Madrid was on August 29, 2010, in a La Liga game against Mallorca. He played the full 90 minutes and provided an assist to Cristiano Ronaldo in a 3-1 victory for Los Blancos. This performance marked the beginning of Ozil’s successful career with Real Madrid.

During his time at Real Madrid, Ozil became an integral part of the team’s midfield and helped them win numerous titles, including one La Liga title and one Copa del Rey title. He also formed a formidable partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, which was famously known as the “BBC” trio.

Ozil’s time at Real Madrid came to an end in 2013 when he signed with Arsenal for a transfer fee of approximately £42.5 million. Despite leaving Real Madrid, Ozil remains fondly remembered by fans for his performances on the field and his contribution to their success during his time with the club.

In conclusion, Mesut Ozil came to Real Madrid in 2010 from Werder Bremen and made his debut in August of that year against Mallorca. During his time with Los Blancos, he became an integral part of their midfield and helped them win several titles. His time with Real Madrid may have ended, but his legacy lives on as one of the greats to have worn the famous white shirt.
