Barcelona safeguard Jordi Alba is an “odd” one in light of the fact that despite the fact that he gets on “flawlessly with them all” he says “regardless he need them to lose the greater part of their diversions” in front of this current end of the week’s Champions League last.
Alba hopes he won’t have to congratulate Madrid (they face Liverpool in Kiev on Saturday) for a third consecutive Champions League win, just like he did last year when they beat Juventus. “I congratulated them but I would have liked to not have to.”
With respect to the guard of honour Madrid refused to give Barça, the left-back didn’t kick up a fuss: “It’s more to do with the media than the teams, but they will have their reasons for not doing it. We’re still champions regardless.”
