The duo played 413 matches together throughout their time in Barcelona and Inter Miami and created an impressive partnership that saw the album constantly providing the assistance of Messi from the left side. The albums were provided by Messi 33 assists over their time on the pitch, only Luis Suarez (60), Dani Alves (42) and Andres Iniesta (37) helped more.Their partnership, which began in Barcelona, continued when they met again at Inter Miami in Major League Soccer, where they kept their chemistry in the field, although they were in the last stages of their career.The albums previously shared its motivation to connect to Inter Miami in an interview with CBS Sports last year. “I don’t like victory. I want to win constantly to keep competing. If I didn’t have this excitement, I wouldn’t come here. I would stay in Barcelona, at home, not playing football,” he said.The Spanish defender also explained that his decision to join Inter Miami was influenced by the presence of his former teammates. “The opportunity was very attractive. I also wanted to return with Leo (Messi) and Busi (Sergio Busquets) and now Luis (Suarez) came. So they were incentives that led me to make this decision,” the album said.Alba’s career was marked by significant successes, including six La League titles with Barcelona and the Champions League trophies. While he initially planned to continue playing until 2027, he decided to close his professional career at the end of the current season.
