What a first touch...

This international break has been littered with impressive training ground finishes.

From Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s outside of the box effort, to Phil Jagielka’s acrobatics, training ground cameramen across the continent have been treated to some class goals.

Now it’s the turn of Juan Mata, preparing for a game against Macedonia with his Spanish teammates.

As a ball is lofted forward, the Manchester United man kills the ball instantly with an immaculate first touch, before bending it beyond the goalkeeper with his left foot.
