Jordi Alba admits he’s been surprised by Barcelona’s ‘wonderful’ youngsters

Jordi Alba has been talking about Barcelona’s young players ahead of Spain’s friendly against Albania on Saturday.

The Barcelona left-back will captain the Spain side in the absence of Sergio Busquets and could line up alongside team-mates such as Gavi, Pedri, Eric Garcia, and Ferran Torres.

Alba has spoken about what it’s like to play with the likes of Pedri and Gavi and how he’s been surprised by just how good they are.

“They are very mature for their age. When I was their age, I was lucky that experienced people helped me adapt, whether it was to the national team, Valencia or Barcelona.
