| Alba, now a part of the world's best team |
Jordi Alba is a product of Barcelona’s famed La Masia, but failed to gain a first team spot and departed for Cornella in 2005, from where he moved to Valencia in 2007.
Alba had long been linked with Barcelona as a replacement for Eric Abidal, and other clubs including Manchester United were said to be monitoring his availability.
