#4. Jordi Alba

Alba's ability to link up with attackers and create magic makes him an invaluable asset to Barcelona

When it comes to recognizing the most in-form offensive side-backs in European football at the moment, only a few can be compared with Spanish International Jordi Alba - thanks to his unbelievable displays so far during the season.

The defender has been in an extraordinary form since the beginning of the campaign, pushing aggressively forward to attack opposing defences on the left flank as well as tracking back at the vital moments to neutralize incoming counter-attacks by utilizing his explosive pace.

With his busting runs and amazing linkup with the likes of Lionel Messi, Philippe Coutinho, and Ousmane Dembele, Jordi Alba will be a serious threat to opposing defences in the UEFA Champions League this season. His immense creativity and his ability to create magic from almost nothing are what make him an indispensable weapon in Barcelona's European Arsenal.
