Figo arrived at Real Madrid in a controversial manner, reigniting the rivalry and the hatred between Real and Barcelona. Figo made an instant impact and helped his new side to the La Liga title in 2001 and to the Champions League crown a year after that.

He was in supreme form in the 2000/01 season, culminating in him lifting the FIFA Player of the Year award. Figo spent five years with the club and forged a good on-field relationship with Zinedine Zidane. The Portuguese winger was crucial to changing the fortunes at Real Madrid, with President Perez making him his first big signing of his tenure.
