The diminutive full-back has been quite unstoppable on the left flank, tormenting opposition defenses with his sheer pace and intelligent movement, as well as linking up with the likes of Lionel Messi, Philippe Coutinho, and Luis Suarez in the offensive third of the pitch to create magic.
Alba has also been a great creator for Barcelona this season, recording an amazing 9 assists to his name for the Catalan giants across all competitions, and he has also impressed with his defensive duties, helping to provide rigidity at the back, using his explosive pace to neutralise incoming counter-attacks.
