Juan Mata
Juan Mata
One of the most likeable, intelligent and accomplished players in the game, Juan Mata has been an integral presence wherever he has been during his career. Starting at Real Ovideo and then cutting his teeth at Valencia, Mata arrived at Chelsea in 2011 a refined and visionary midfielder with all the grace you would come to expect of a FIFA World Cup-winning Spanish playmaker. Winning the UEFA Champions League and FA Cup during his first season in London, Mata was named Chelsea's Player of the Year twice in a row as his flourished at Stamford Bridge. Glory at UEFA EURO 2012 followed before a £37million move to Old Trafford in 2014, where he continues to win the adoration not just of Manchester United fans but football fans of all persuasions.
