Barcelona midfielder Jordi Alba has spoken about his interaction on the pitch with former Catalan striker Lionel Messi.
Lionel Messi, Getty Images"We understood each other perfectly, he relied on me at the right time. Over time, it became a little harder because all the opponents already knew us, but he came in from the second line and sometimes found other teammates who were more invisible. We made a very good duo. Everything was easier with him. Almost all my assists were to him, I remember that the first one was at El Sadar (Osasuna Stadium - ed.). He is the best in all aspects of the game," Marca quoted Alba as saying.
