It’s time to say goodbye to Barcelona. In the 2022/23 season, Gerard Pique hung up his boots, and after the last match against Mallorca, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba played their last matches at the Camp Nou. Yesterday, June 1, in honor of the latter, a solemn farewell ceremony took place.
On Thursday, June 1, activists of the Duma of Catalonia organized a special farewell ceremony, which was attended by wardrobe colleagues of the Spanish defender and his relatives. “I’m going to miss you guys,” Alba admitted looking at his teammates.
The hosts then broadcast a video that featured the left-back’s career and comments from his former teammates from the locker room. Speaking of the Spaniard, Ter Stegen, Pablo Torre, Kessy, Ansu Fati, Marcos Alonso, Balda, Kunda and Robert Lewandowski.
Jordi Alba joked with Robert Lewandowski
The captain of FC Barcelona then answered a series of questions. At one point, the host of this conference asked Jordi Alba if full-backs are the ones who cover the most miles on the field. The Spaniard’s reaction surprised everyone, even his teammates, who couldn’t help but laugh.
“It depends on the position, but all the players run a lot, maybe except … Lewandowski, who runs less,” he said, quoted by AC.
Then Jordi Alba stressed that he was joking, and explained that after all, those players who play on the flank cover more kilometers.
Career Story of Jordi Alba
Jordi Alba arrived in Barcelona at the age of 9, but initially his path was not strewn with roses. The football player even decided in 2005 to leave La Masia and go to Cornell, from where he moved to Valencia two years later. It was there that the Spaniard developed into a leading left-back that resulted in Barcelona bringing him back into the ranks in 2012 for around €14m. On all fronts in the color of the Catalan Duma, Jordi Alba played 459 matches in which he scored 27 goals and made 99 assists.
Jordi Alba will be able to record the next meeting on Sunday when the Blaugrana play Celta on the last matchday. Wards Javi Hernandez previously won the championship of Spain. In addition, the already mentioned Robert Lewandowski is likely to take the top scorer’s crown after this meeting. At the moment, the Pole has scored 23 goals, and his main rival, the owner of the Golden Ball, Karim Benzema, has 18 such goals.
