Jordi Alba Ramos (Catalan pronunciation:[ˈʒɔr.diˈaɫ.βə]; born 21 March 1989) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Major League Soccer club Inter Miami. He is often regarded as one of the best left-backs of his generation.[4][5][6]
Alba started his career at Barcelona, but was released. After joining Cornellà, he moved to Valencia. In 2012 he returned to Barcelona, with whom he has won sixteen major honours, including five La Liga titles, five Copas del Rey and one UEFA Champions League.
After winning 23 caps and scoring one goal at youth level, Alba made his senior debut for Spain in 2011. He was an integral member of the team that won UEFA Euro 2012, and was also part of the squads at the FIFA World Cup in 2014, 2018, and 2022, and the European Championship in 2016 and 2020. Alba was the captain of the team that won the 2022–23 UEFA Nations League. In 2023, he announced his international retirement.
