Throwback To When Juan Mata Absolutely Destroyed Albiol With Rabona Nutmeg

Spain was one of the most feared teams in Europe and the world at one point. They dazzled the world with their tiki-taka style of play on the pitch, not to mention the skill moves that their world-class talent could pull off.

Enter Juan Mata, who once made Spain teammate Raúl Albiol look like the biggest chump in the world when he skilled past him during a training session.

Check it out:

That's some boss skills from the Manchester United star.

It's not surprising that the Spain players absolutely lost their minds at his skill. Albiol can be seen walking away from Mata, probably in shock that he has been taken to school with that bit of skill.

"Albiol better call 9-Juan-Juan," one commenter wrote.

Another added: "After this, Albiol cried [for] days."

A third added: "I cried of [sic] sympathy for Albiol after I saw this skill."

Somebody needs to show that video to EA Sports and ask how Mata is only a four-star skiller in FIFA 19.

What did you make of Mata's bit of skill?
