Mata excited about taking on Chelsea teammates at Wembley

Chelsea midfielder Juan Mata says he is eagerly anticipating this weekend's international friendly between Spain and England.

The Blues star and his Spanish teammates take on the Three Lions at Wembley Stadium on Saturday and Mata is excited about taking on the likes of John Terry and Frank Lampard.

"I have already joked about the game with Lampard and Terry and we'll do it more often as the game gets closer," Mata said on his official YouTube channel.

"For them it's quite an incentive to play against the world champions and for us to play against England in their home.

"I have not been to the old or new Wembley. The new one is really nice and a game against England on the mythical pitch, I'm sure it will be a great clash."
