Now 37, the 170cm playmaker is a two-time UEFA Champions League winner (with Chelsea in 2012 and as a key figure in Manchester United's 2017 Europa League triumph), a FIFA World Cup winner (2010), and a two-time UEFA European Championship winner (2008, 2012) with Spain. Mata's career, which also included a successful spell at Valencia, is defined by his extraordinary vision, pinpoint passing, and deadly set-piece delivery.
