Manchester City claimed the first silverware of the new campaign as they beat Chelsea 2-0 in the Community Shield at Wembley on Sunday.
Sergio Aguero hit a brace for Pep Guardiola's side but there was plenty going on aside from the main action.
Here Sportsmail looks at the eight things you missed from the Community Shield.
Aguero scores his 200th Manchester City goal
Sergio Aguero is already Manchester City's all-time record goalscorer, and the 30-year-old continues to hit new heights.
Aguero's first strike against Chelsea, which saw him find the net after being teed up by the hugely talented Phil Foden, was the striker's 200th goal for City. It didn't take him long to score his 201st.
Aguero hits the corner flag
Aguero is known for his clinical nature in front of goal, but the City striker had a moment to forget in the first half when his wayward effort hit a corner flag.
The Argentina international soon atoned for his error, though, as he opened the scoring shortly afterwards and he then scored again in the second half.
Aguero is also now City's outright leading scorer at Wembley as he has found the net at the national stadium five times, with Yaya Toure in second place with three goals.
David Luiz plays his first competitive game in 181 days
Under Antonio Conte, David Luiz had fallen down the pecking order to such an extent that it seemed highly likely that he would leave Chelsea.
However, with Conte now out of the picture, Luiz is back in the frame, and new boss Maurizio Sarri handed the centre-back his first competitive appearance since the 4-1 defeat to Watford on February 5, which was 181 days ago.
De Bruyne and Emery watch on
Kevin De Bruyne may not yet be considered fit enough to play after featuring for Belgium at the World Cup, but the midfielder was still an interested spectator at Wembley.
De Bruyne watched on as City prevailed past his former side and will hope that he will soon be back on the field himself.
Another notable observer was Arsenal head coach Unai Emery, whose side face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on August 18.
City buck FA Cup winners trend
It has become a common theme in recent years for the previous season's FA Cup winners to prevail in this fixture, but City managed to buck that trend.
Prior to today, the last four editions of the Community Shield had been won by the reigning FA Cup champions, with Manchester United in 2013 previously the most recent reigning league champion to win the traditional curtain-raiser.
Bravo almost makes a costly mistake
Claudio Bravo may have kept a clean sheet but the City goalkeeper's well-documented habit of making costly errors very nearly resurfaced.
Just prior to half-time, Bravo was needlessly off his line and almost got caught out by Marcos Alonso's lofted effort but the Chilean managed to clear the danger just in time.
The goalkeeper also almost made another mistake late on.
Gundogan makes return to action wearing a mask
Ilkay Gundogan featured as a second-half substitute for City as he made his return to action and the midfielder was wearing a mask.
Gundogan underwent an operation to fix a deviated septum following Germany's exit from the World Cup.
Claudio Gomes makes his senior debut
Talented youngster Claudio Gomes officially completed his move to City from Paris Saint-Germain recently and was named amongst the substitutes at Wembley.
Gomes was brought on for the last few seconds as he made his first competitive appearance in senior football.
