Juan Mata, the in-form Manchester United midfielder, led his team to a 2-1 victory over German side Wolfsburg in the Champions League.
The Spanish National was, without a doubt, the star player on Wednesday, scoring a goal, creating the assist in Chris Smalling’s goal, and having an impeccable passing accuracy all throughout the match (98%).
