'I want to thank Luis Enrique for trusting me': Jordi Alba possibly aims dig at Xavi after Spain match

 for trusting me. It's time for me to win the trust back on the pitch," 

Alba scored Spain's only goal of the night with a superb finish.

Some Barca fans believe the 33-year-old is aiming a dig at 

 with these words. Alba is always a regular starter in the national team, so why would he suddenly thank Luis Enrique for putting him into the starting eleven?

The Barca veteran remains a benchwarmer under Xavi this season. He has only played 216 minutes for Blaugrana this term.

Do you think Xavi should give Alba more game time in the upcoming matches? Why/why not?

6 Barca players start for Spain, Alba scores v Switzerland

 has put his name on the scoreboard, netting a goal against Switzerland. It's 

Alba celebrated a goal with his teammates. 

A total of 6 Barca players appeared in the starting XI tonight. Those were 

He played all 90 minutes, while Ferran and Pedri were subbed off in the second half. Luckily nobody got injured today.

Jordi Alba told he might miss World Cup over one 'bad decision'

 may miss the World Cup for his bad decision not to leave 

 and head to Italy this summer, Marca say. 

The Blaugrana reached an agreement with Inter Milan in the final days of this summer for the transfer of Alba on loan, but the Spaniard decided not to leave. 

As it stands, Alba is Barca's third choice at left-back behind 

With just about two months to the World Cup, Alba may be ignored by Luis Enrique for Spain's World Cup squad, unless the veteran can somehow get more minutes quickly.

Why Xavi not play Balde in ucl with Bayern?

I know, but my question was simple, not about Alba, as you can see.

BarcaFOREVER

For Xavi is important how offensive is the defender.

Alba is more offendive than Alonso, and Alonso is more good defender than Alba, yesterday Alba playing perfect, worst was Ferran, Garcia and Pedri.

What can you reproach Alba for his game yesterday?

Xavi is not your problem, Balde is. He is the now and the future.

Absolutely spot on though, the selection of players to national team is riddled with so much mysteries one can't actually placed. Best wishes Alba.

lol. you ask why he'd suddenly thank Enrique for trusting him, now let me ans that. when you have a luis Enrique who didn't really trust you in his last year at Barca and had issues with you before he left the club, then he becomes the coach of your national team and despite playing regularly for your club he doesn't call you up for the national team, then because he had no choice knowing you play regularly for His favorite club and one of the biggest clubs in the world, and after so many critics, he finally calls you up.. as player you feel any little chance he gets he'll dump you. now Alba has not been playing this season, yet the same coach called him for the national team despite not playing. that was a huge surprise.. was that not enough to be grateful to Enrique..

WHEEZPET

I not say to not play Balde, but Xavi manage bad this translation

Balde should also thank Xavi too. Let's see how far this cheat code works.😂😂

I will always trust Xavi's judgement to play Balde over Jordi Alba because it's a transition and Balde offers a lot offensively and defensively. It's just that we have 3 players competing for one single slot
