“What has happened to Jordi Alba?” says Charles Antaki. “He used to be a guaranteed source of runs and crosses from the left, and he’s been invisible in recent Barça games. Not that things are happening much on the right with Semedo; has the new(ish) manager turned his back on the currently fashionable wing-backery?”
Strange, isn’t it, especially given his link-up with Messi. And Barcelona are playing a diamond midfield tonight, which usually requires the full-backs to do 90 minutes of shuttle runs.
