Juan has already been champion once, and has scored 8 goals and assisted 9 times in 18 games. Mata hopes to continue his personal record in the Saturday’s FA Cup final against Crystal Palace (17:30 local time).<\/strong><\/p>\n

8 goals and 9 assists in 18 games. Juan Mata\u00b4s romance with the FA Cup can be boil down to that statistic.
\nNo tournament is gives you better. He won (and he was named MVP)<\/a> the final in 2012, was a semi-finalist in 2013 and next Saturday (17:30 local time) will fight again at Wembley to try to lift the trophy. If he succeeds, it will be a very special moment: his first title with the Manchester United jersey.<\/p>\n

On 5 May 2012, Juan contributed with an assist in Chelsea\u00b4s victory against Liverpool (2-1)<\/a> in the final. In his debut season in the English football, the Asturian lifted his first FA Cup with the Blues (days after, Juan achieved the Champions League against Bayern). Mata played at a stunning level in the FA Cup 2011-2012. In seven matches, the Spaniard scored four goals and gave four assists. His best performance was in the semi-final, when he scored one and assisted two times, trashing Tottenham (1-5).<\/p>\n
