After playing for different age categories (&#8220;cadete&#8221; and &#8220;juvenil&#8221;), we won the 2005-2006 League and the Champions Cup with the Juvenil A Divisi\u00f3n de Honor. Those were my first &#8216;big&#8217; trophies; for me in those years it was like winning the Champions League! After that I skipped Real Madrid C and went straight to play for Castilla. In the 2006-2007 season I played in the Second Division alongside an excellent generation of footballers (De la Red, Javi Garc\u00eda, Bueno, Ad\u00e1n, Borja Valero, Negredo or Granero). I had just turned 18.<\/p>\n<p>I finished that season with 10 goals, in the second place of my team only behind Negredo, but we were relegated. We didn&#8217;t have much experience in the category and we realised how important it is. Later on, before turning 20, an opportunity arose to join the first team of another big club: Valencia CF. In Madrid I became more mature (also because I was far from home) and a much better footballer in many senses thanks to the advice of the managers I had each season, something that have helped me throughout all these years. It was a crucial stage in my football career.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af58fed elementor-widget

The start was not very consistent but after Ronald Koeman&#8217;s arrival I played more regularly, which is always very important for the development of a young player. I made my debut in the Champions League against Chelsea in December 2007, in Stamford Bridge. Back in September I had played my first minutes in la Liga, against Almer\u00eda. That season, though, the Copa del Rey was definitely the most special competition I took part in, for we lifted the trophy in April 2008 and I was one of the goalscorers (a header!) in the final against Getafe.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2009-2010 I wore the number 10 at the back, following Angulo&#8217;s departure. That same number 10 of Kempes or Fernando G\u00f3mez, the historic Valencia captain. I was very proud of that. During those years in Valencia I was lucky to share the dressing room with great Spanish footballers (Ca\u00f1izares, Albelda, Baraja, Marchena, Iv\u00e1n Helguera, Angulo, Morientes, Vicente, Joaqu\u00edn, Villa, Silva\u2026). We fought every year to make the gap with Real Madrid and Barcelona smaller. With Valencia, I scored 46 goals and gave 52 assists. My memories of the club, the city and the Valencia supporters are amazing&#8230; Even the &#8216;Pe\u00f1a Valencianista Juan Mata&#8217; (my fans club in Valencia) is still

I scored in every debut I made: in the Premier League against Norwich, in the Champions League against Bayer Leverkusen and in the FA Cup against Portsmouth. The last two competitions were going to be very important that season. In fact, I can say they are two of the most memorable moments of my career.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, in the FA Cup 2012, I had the chance to play for the first time in such a legendary stadium as Wembley: the semifinals against Tottenham and the final against Liverpool. The latter brought me a double joy because we won the title and I was named &#8216;Man of the Match&#8217;. It was my first trophy with Chelsea!<\/p>\n<p>But the best was yet to come. After the group stage and all the thrilling of the knockout rounds, we made it to the Champions League final. We were looking for something almost impossible: beating Bayern Munich in their own stadium. Well, we were suffering most of the game (it was meant to be that way), but we won in the penalty shootout. It was our destiny&#8230; I will never forget that corner kick that I took to the first post and Didier headed to the net with the strength of thousands of fans&#8230; We had won the first Champions League in the history of the club, and all that in my first 12 months!<\/p>\n<p>The Chelsea fans named me Player of the Year in my debut season in the Premier League, which made me really happy. No other Chelsea player had won such award in his first year since Ruud Gullit. It was the icing of the cake after a few months that had been a bit hectic, where we had a change in the management, with Di Matteo replacing Villas-Boas. I feel very grateful to both because both of them had faith in me at all times.<\/p>\n<p>The following season (2012-2013) we worked with a new manager. Ben\u00edtez replaced Di Matteo in November 2012. With Rafa I got my best offensive stats of my career so far: 20 goals and 35 assists in 64 games including all competitions. Once again I was named Player of the Year by the Chelsea fans, and once again I felt very proud and grateful. Moreover, I was included in the Premier League Best XI and we lifted another continental trophy: the Europa League. I have very nice memories of the final and especially of another corner kick that I took, this time with Ivanovic&#8217;s header to win the game and the title. It was my third and last trophy as a Chelsea player.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of January 2014, after a few complicated months, I was starting a new stage of my career, in Manchester United. I was leaving behind 33 goals and 58 assists in 135 games with Chelsea, and something more important: a great bunch of memories and friends for all my life.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51a0290 elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"51a0290\"

Obviously, everybody knew such process was not going to be easy. The first few months were not easy from a general perspective, but thanks to the help of my team-mates and my manager at that time, David Moyes, my integration in the club\u2019s culture was quick. I made my debut with a win against Cardiff and I received the affection of this fantastic crowd very soon (I was chosen Player of the Month in February 2014). I started to realise how big this club is when I saw how many fans we have all over the world. I will never forget my first goal with the United shirt, in Old Trafford against Aston Villa.     After my first season, we started to work with Louis Van Gaal.<\/p>\n<p>I experienced my first pre-season tour with the club in the United States and I must say that the impact of the club everywhere we go is absolutely amazing. In the 2014-2015 season we qualified for the Champions League, the main goal then. Also, I was involved in a very emotional moment, our victory in Anfield Road against Liverpool, when I scored two goals, one of which was awarded the club\u2019s Goal of the Season. That game, and everything that came the days afterwards, is something I\u2019ll never forget.  In my years as &#8216;Red Devil&#8217; we have celebrated an FA Cup, a Europa League, a Community Shield and an EFL Cup together and I have continued to renew my commitment to a special club, unique in the world, until the summer of 2022, when I ended to an unforgettable stage that I keep very fondly with the farewell ovation I received in my last game at Old Trafford.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-102fc14 elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"102fc14\"

My career as an international player started in the Copa del Atl\u00e1ntico with the Under-16, when I was playing for Real Oviedo, and then I went through all the youth categories and I spent extraordinary moments. I consider myself very privileged. I&#8217;ve always had excellent footballers by my side. In 2006, with the Under-19, we became Champions of Europe in Poland. It was a very special tournament for me because I was named the Best Player. I also participated in the 2007 Under-20 World Cup in Canada and the qualifiers for the 2009 Under-21 Euro Cup (I couldn&#8217;t play the final stage because I was with the first team in the Confederations Cup in South Africa). The main success with the youth categories was the 2011 Under-21 Euro Cup: with Luis Milla as a manager we did a brilliant tournament and beat Switzerland 0-2 in the final. One year later I took part in the Olympic Games in London. The outcome was not as expected, but the experience of being an Olympic sportsman will remain forever!<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Vicente del Bosque&#8217;s confidence I made my way to Spain&#8217;s first team when I was still 20. My relationship with &#8216;la Roja&#8217; started on the 28th of March 2009, replacing David Villa in a game against Turkey at the Bernab\u00e9u (my first call-up had been before, in November 2008, but I didn&#8217;t get to play any minute). After playing the Confederations Cup in South Africa in the summer of 2009, and scoring my first goal (September 2009, against Estonia), one of the best moments of my career (if not the best one) arrived: the World Cup in South Africa, where we became World Champions for the first time in the history of Spain. Surrounded by fantastic footballers, and thanks to Iniesta&#8217;s goal, we touched the sky!<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, that was not the end. In 2012 we achieved something amazing, something no other team had done before: being able to win Euro Cup, World Cup and Euro Cup in a row. The tournament took place in Poland and Ukraine and, once again, destiny had a present for me. I jumped onto the pitch in the last few minutes of the final and almost with my first touch I scored that historic 4-0 after an assist by Fernando Torres. Another day to keep in my list of unforgettable memories!<\/p>\n<p>Later on I also played the Confederations Cup (2013) and the World Cup in Brazil (2014). I have scored 11 goals with the national team so far; I hope there are still many games and important tournaments to play with Spain.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div
