"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.
