Juan wants his 5th cup with United

Real Madrid is the obstacle to win the European Supercup this Tuesday, one of the few titles Mata hasn’t got. The National Stadium of Filipo II of Macedonia will host the match.

Very few trophies aren’t in Juan Mata’s spectacular track record. The Asturian, a club and national team trophy collector, wants to conquer the European Supercup this Tuesday at Skopje (20.45 local time), one of the few trophies he hasn’t got. The National Stadium of Filipo II will host this spectacular match against Real Madrid, current champions of Europe.

“They are the ones everyone wants to beat; they have a great team, they won league in Spain”, said Mata. “We know how good they are but United has great history and record of titles. We won three trophies last season. One day, sooner rather than later, we want to be where they were last season, in a Champions League final, and hopefully winning it”.

Manchester United will arrive as winners of the Europa League. Juan disputed the European Supercup as a Chelsea player and now he wants to win it with Man United. It will mean his fifth title as a Red Devil after the FA Cup, Community Shield, EFL Cup and Europa League. United won the European Supercup once already, it was in 1991 when they played it as champions of the UEFA Cup winners’ cup.As a player of Valencia, Juan scored two goals and gave three assists against Real Madrid.
