Kids who will watch his tribute video by Barcelona will think he was a No.11
Best Spanish LB of all times
How many cutbacks did he pass to Messi. I'll always remember him assisting Messi with me goals..
Historic performance vs Liverpool at Anfield
Eric Garcia cant catch a break🤣
Not really for me. I never felt so good at Barca. Yes, he did a lot of assists for Messi and the other attacking players (Suarez, Neymar…), but he neglected his real job, which is defending. Often seen in the big, important games. CL semi-final second leg v Liverpool 2 goals via his side. At the decisive corner from his defense side, he turns away from the ball as the first defender, i.e. with his back to the ball. 2013 in the semi-final first leg against Bayern: bad positional play and runs his back and goal in Müller. At the 2nd Müllertor he comes again 1 step too late. In the 2018 CL quarter-finals second leg against Roma, he was easily overrun by Edin Dzeko when it was 0-1. Don't get me wrong, he's a good player but as a defender he was too prone to make mistakes in the important games.
Messi has underachieved a lot winning only 1 Champions league in The last 12 years. His teams have been way too good.
Overstayed for 4 extra seasons like Messi, Pique n Busquets after 2016
Jordi alba been playing aince i started watching football. What a legend and so consistent. Yeah hed get caught out here and there but that was down to hyper offensive tactics which pushed the fullbacks super high more than anything. he could def do a role in a lwb type position with less defensive requirements. If the back 3 is solid enough to help a 34 yr old 😂.
Jordi Alba and Piqué should have been out the door after that collapse to Liverpool. Instead Barça held on to them and delayed the squad revamping that should have taken place years back.
barca should have sent him over for gaya
Most assist in Europe…… 55 Marcelo which I hold on high regard had 33. Jordi still fast !!
Bayern Munich 8-2 Barcelona
Liverpool 4-0 Barcelona
He's nothing but a rat.
Alba is the best!
