Former Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata was pleased to make his debut for Galatasaray on Saturday.

Mata was a second-half substitute for the 0-0 draw with Adana Demirspor.

He later said: "It was a difficult match, we played against a leading team. There was a strong support.

"I am happy to play my first match. However, we could not take advantage of the chances, we could not score a goal, I am unhappy about it.

"We are very eager, we signed good players in the summer period.

"To become the champions we have to win. I think I'm good, but I'm trying to prepare myself for the first home game. I want to use my high-level knowledge to help Galatasaray."
