Over recent years, the quality of Barcelona’s football has rightly attracted plenty of plaudits.
Unfortunately, this incident involving leftback Jordi Alba perhaps shows a side of football we don’t want to see from one of the sport’s greatest teams.
After Olivier Giroud’s hand catches his arm, the Spanish international theatrically throws himself to the Emirates turf, clutching his face.
Not something we need to see from a team capable of such brilliance…
Embarrassing from Alba. Brush against his arm and clutches his face. https://t.co/QjFEZ9BO92
