Jordi Alba is one of the most naturally athletic footballers in the Barcelona squad

Full-back Jordi Alba is probably the most naturally athletic player in the Barcelona squad and boasts team-high ratings in athleticism, beating even the likes of Lionel Messi and Neymar in some attributes.

The Spaniard is known to be one of the fastest players in world football, a fact which is reflected in his FIFA 17 attribute ratings. Alba’s acceleration (93) is second best in the Barcelona squad. With such a high acceleration, Alba can also reach a very high sprint speed (93) which is the best in the Catalan squad.

Alba is not only better than Lionel Messi in the above attributes but also betters the Argentine in the vital attributes of agility and stamina. He uses his team-high stamina (90) to maraud down the left flank in the dying embers of games.
