Gerard Piqué, Sergio Busquets and, now, Jordi Alba. In less than 200 days, FC Barcelona has promoted a revolution in the squad, letting 3 of the 4 captains leave. Only Sergi Roberto, who reduced his salary by more than 60% to adapt it to the situation, has been the only captain to remain at Barça, until 2024.
Despite having another year on his contract, like Piqué, the man from L’Hospitalet de Llobregat will leave the Catalan team prematurely. After the irruption of Alejandro Balde, Alba has gone from being the undisputed starter for Xavi to being a golden substitute. Thus, Jordi Alba will leave FC Barcelona after 458 games, 27 goals and 99 assists and an enviable record: 1 Champions League6 LaLiga5 King’s Cups o 1 European Super Cup.
agreed departure
After several meetings in recent weeks between the club and the soccer player, Alba’s goodbye will finally represent an extra step to normalize Barça’s financial situation. During this course, the winger has shown himself sad by the harsh criticism received. “Many atrocities and lies have been said that hurt you because you are from the house. A buzz has been created that has put the captains in the arena, but we cannot go out and deny everything that is said on a daily basis. We are from here and We feel the colors to the fullest, but criticism hurts.”
In this way, on Sunday against RCD Mallorca, there will be a triple goodbye. Both Sergio Busquets and Alba will play their last home games at Can Barça, and the club will play, for the last time in 2 years, a game at the Camp Nou.
