La Liga 2017-18 Team of the Week: Lionel Messi dazzles, and Geoffrey Kondogbia continues to impress

Jordi Alba helped Barcelona run riot against Espanyol

Left back - Jordi Alba (Barcelona)

After having a difficult period under Luis Enrique at Barcelona, the Jordi Alba of old appears to have returned. The Barcelona left back was in excellent form against Espanyol, haring down the left-hand side with regularity to help give width in the final third. The chemistry between himself, Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi is a joy to watch.

Right back - Sebastian Corchia (Sevilla)

The Frenchman only came off the bench for the last 20 minutes against Eibar, but highlighted why Eduardo Berizzo should be considering him immediately for his first-team starting plans. Corchia nabbed his first assist for Los Nervionenses, curling in a great cross for Nolito to guide home inside the penalty area. His drive and willingness to get forward is a real asset for Sevilla.
