Our captain was watching Melbourne Victory, Mata's current team, against Sydney FC on the big screen at Carrington, and as the 37-year-old stepped up to take a free-kick on the edge of the box, Bruno knew this was going to be a moment worth capturing.
Sat next to Harry Maguire, he whipped out his phone to record the live broadcast, and Mata quickly repaid his faith.
"Over the wall?" Harry can be heard asking. "For sure, he has to," comes Bruno's reply.
Sure enough, the former Spain international steps up and curls his effort over the Sydney wall and neat into the top-right corner, giving goalkeeper Harrison Devenish-Meares little hope of reaching it.
