The Spaniard is the most creative and undoubtedly the best full-back in the La Liga this season, with his return of 2 goals and 10 assists in 34 appearances to go with plenty of chances created and numerous magical performances. He also has 1 goal and 5 assists to his name in the Champions League as he continues to inspire Barcelona across every competition.
Having built a perfect understanding with Lionel Messi and combining with the Argentine maestro to wreak havoc in opposition territories, Alba deserves his share of plaudits for the role he has played in supporting Barcelona's treble ambitions this term.
