I found very few video of him in Youtube, and this video I posted contains a few of his great moves only (even his description in wikipedia has a few lines only). Maybe its because he is currently playing his first season in the top flight, and not many care to make a video for him. But if anybody find a better video, please post it here or tell me, so I can replace it with mine.

Juan Manuel Mata García (born April 28, 1988 in Burgos) is a Spanish footballer, who currently plays for Valencia CF, mainly as a left winger. Mata started his football career at Real Oviedo, where his father spent most of his career. He stayed there for 3 years before joining Real Madrid at age 15. After appearing for Cadete A, he swiftly progressed through the junior teams, Juvenil C and finally the Juvenil A. In his last campaign (2005-06) he scored 18 goals in the league and 3 more in the Copa de Campeones, including the winner in the final against Real Valladolid, adding another 3 in the Spanish Juvenil Cup. Switching to Real Madrid Castilla in 2006-07, he was given the number 34 shirt in the first team, while wearing number 28 in Castilla. In spite of Castilla's final relegation, Mata finished the season as the side's second best scorer at 10, behind striker Álvaro Negredo (18).
Mata had a contractual clause at Real Madrid during his last season at the club, and eventually agreed to sign for Valencia CF on March 2007, starting in 2007-08.

I do think he is underrated. He is a very intelligent player, and all football fans worldwide should start knowing him well.
