The FC Barcelona left back is optimistic ahead of the Champions League match against AC Milan
Alba says the “players are calm, and they are eager to get a good result”
The shows of confidence from FC Barcelona’s first team players ahead of the decisive Champions League round of 16 return leg against AC Milan keep on popping up, and the message – regardless of who is delivering it – is identical. This Tuesday it was Jordi Alba who said: “I’m very sure we’ll go through to the next round.”
The left back added to the statements made by Xavi, Iniesta and Mascherano that the Barça players are very eager to get a good result against the Italians. “It’s true that we’re not doing well,” said Alba, “but we are calm, and we’re very eager to play the match and win it by playing good football, just like we’re accustomed to doing.”
The Catalan then went on to say that “it’s a difficult tie … we want to defeat Deportivo first so we can then focus on Milan.”
