Bartra: When Alena was young he'd dribble past everyone
The defender spoke about the Catalan midfielder who has arrived at Betis on loan
Carles Alena has played his first minutes at Real Betis on loan from Barcelona in the draw with Alaves. He was welcomed to the club by Marc Bartra, a former Barcelona team-mate. "I wish him a lot of luck and hope he feels at home," said Bartra. "He was very young and already dribbling around everyone.
"Betis is much more than a club, it's a feeling. It's the life of a lot of people. I feel proud that players of his status are coming to Betis to make it even bigger. It's very exciting to be able to welcome Alena on a special day for him. We've a lot in common, we grew up together at Barca from young to get to the first team."
