Barcelona head coach Xavi has thanked defender Jordi Alba for his time with the club.
Jordi Alba, Getty Images"As a teammate, as a coach, you were the best defender who has ever been here. I wish you all the best, Barcelona is your home. I've already told you that we all want you to leave with greatness, I think you deserve it. And if at some point you were disappointed, especially in me, then I have bad taste.
It was nothing personal, you know that. I love you very much, I respect and admire you very much. You already know that I love you very much, I know that you have a very big heart. But you have to make decisions, and these decisions are often difficult, especially when it comes to training with friends," Mundo Deportivo quoted Xavi as saying.
It will be recalled that in the summer transfer window, Jordi Alba joined Inter Miami as a free agent.
