Cardiff City beat Manchester United (0-2) in the last day of the league. The Red Devils finished in sixth place and will play the Europa League.
The 1-1 against Huddersfield Town leaves them at 4 points from the 4th position when there is only one more game at stake in the Premier League. Juan Mata, who gave seven key passes, was the engine of the team’s attack.
Mata scored the 1-0 for Manchester United after a great collective play. Marcos Alonso scored the equaliser for the Blues. ManU still three points adrift of the fourth place, occupied by Juan’s former team.
Juan Mata will face Chelsea on the day of his anniversary. Manchester United needs the victory to not lose sight of the fourth place. At the London Club, ManU number 8 won three titles (the Champions League among them) and had excellent track records (32 goals and 58 assists in 135 games).
Several stadiums have had a big impact on my career (Mestalla, Stamford bridge, Old Trafford, Soccer City, The Olympic Stadium of Kiev, Allianz Arena, Wembley, Amsterdam Arena…) but football has let me travel so I’ve had the chance of meeting plenty more. I’ve located and compiled them so that you can see them on my particular ‘Mata´s wold map’. I hope you like it.
