Juan Manuel Mata Biography

A skilful midfield playmaker who signed for Chelsea in August 2011. Juan quickly settled into life at Stamford Bridge and established himself as a regular in the team.

A player who brought flair and entertainment to Stamford Bridge, he produced some fine performances and was chosen as Player of the Year by the club’s supporters. He scored a debut goal against Norwich City and was a key figure in the club’s FA Cup and Champions League successes during the season.

A product of the Real Madrid youth system, Mata left the club as a teenager in search of regular first-team football and found it Valencia. In four years at the club he established himself as one of Europe’s most talented young playmakers before his move to Chelsea.
