The defender spoke about Barcelona's victory at Montilivi

Jordi Alba praised Girona after Barcelona’s 2-0 win at Montilivi on Sunday. “They gave us more trouble with 10 than 11,” said the defender. “Girona are a great team, for me one of the best football-playing teams in La Liga, at Camp Nou they were hard for us to handle too.”

Alba set up Lionel Messi for his goal with a low cross as Barca hit Girona on the counter.

“When they were down to 10 we could get into the box more, but they knew how to sit back well and it was hard for us to break through the middle,” he added.

“This was an important win for us. It was an even game won on the small details, above all the quality we have up front. Leo never fails and I’m happy with Nelson’s goal.”
