Juan Mata might win this Wednesday the Europa League. It’s a tournament in which he has achieved great stats throughout his professional career. Villarreal, coached by his ex-manager Emery, will be Manchester United’s rival in the final.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Wednesday in Gdansk, Juan Mata will try to lift his third Europa League. He did it back in 2013 -with Chelsea’s shirt- and in 2017. Unai Emery’s Villarreal CF, who was his coach in Valencia, will be the last step for Manchester United in order to reach glory.<\/p>\n

“I improved a lot with him,” Mata explained<\/a>. “He’s a methodic manager, hard-working, professional, preparing for every single game like a final. We will have to be ready because I’m sure he’ll come up with something different, some kind of surprise from their team, tactically or from set pieces.”<\/p>\n

Beyond those two titles, the Europa League is a tournament in which Juan has offered a great performance. His numbers are overwhelming: in 57 games, the Asturian has scored 11 goals and 21 assists. This means that he has participated in at least 32 goals.<\/p>\nThe Europa League is a tournament in which Juan has offered a great performance.

In the 2012\/13 Europa League, the offensive game plays of the international Spaniard were decisive in the Last Sixteen stage (against Steaua), in the Last 8 against Rubin Kazan and in the Final<\/a>, with his two assists against Benfica. In the 2016\/17 edition, he participated in 4 goals in Manchester United’s journey<\/a> to the final won against Ajax.<\/p>\n

His first goal, against Rosenborg<\/strong><\/p>\n

His first goal came when the competition still answered to the name of UEFA Cup. Norwegian Rosenborg were the victims in a win by Valencia (0-4)<\/a> in November 2008. On the next season, now by the name of Europa League, Mata achieved 5 goals and 7 assists in 14 duels. Valencia’s journey in that edition ended up in the Last 8 stage and lost against the title winner, Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
