Jordi Alba Ramos (born 21 March 1989) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Major League Soccer club Inter Miami and captains the Spain national team.
He is often regarded as one of the best left-backs of his generation and is considered one of the greatest left-backs of all time.
Alba started his career at Barcelona, but was released after being deemed too small. 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 and 2018, and the European Championship in 2016 and 2020.
