Mata’s goals in the 2016-17 campaign helped in key moments, such as the EFL Cup semi-finals against Hull City (already decisive against City in the fourth round) or the Europa League in the round of 16 against Rostov. Two tournaments, by the way, that United ended up conquering.
Other goals were not so far-reaching, but they stood out for their beauty. Leicester, champion of the Premier 2015-16, suffered Juan´s precision in the two rounds they faced United. Also Watford players can testify to the talent of the Spanish player.
