Mata and De Gea's footballing marathon

We have trained every day and now find ourselves in our team hotel in Wolverhampton, after spending around an hour and a half travelling down from Manchester by coach. As you can imagine, I’ve had plenty of time to watch quite a lot of games after training sessions.

In fact, on Saturday, David [De Gea] and I had a footballing marathon of five games: Arsenal vs Burnley, Manchester City vs Tottenham, Celta Vigo vs Real Madrid, Racing Santander vs Malaga (I wanted to watch my friend David Lomban) and Elche vs Fuenlabrada (David wanted to watch Elche, the team he has supported since he was little).
