Jordi Alba: For me this is like winning a Champions League

Jordi Alba enjoyed Barcelona's thrashing of Real Madrid in the Clasico. First of all, for his excellent game. Secondly for his love of Barcelona.

"It's a special game for all Cules and I've been here since I was little, for that (Clasicos) are very special games for me," said Alba. "It's not as important as winning a Champions League bit that's how it feels to me. For Cules it's very important to beat Real Madrid."

The left-back set up Coutinho and celebrated it more than the Brazilian. "Sometimes I enjoy giving assists more than scoring goals," he said. And he also praised the tactics.

"We found space, we tried to combine in the centre to end up opening up the flanks and I think we did a lot of damage.

"I'm in a great moment of form. I feel a huge confidence in me from the coaches, my team-mates and the fans."
