This Monday an unusual event happened in Barcelona. Jordi Alba , left-back of the Catalan team, came to training driving a car by himself. It is that the defender from Barcelona had no record and was taken every morning by his father. But after many loads, he made the decision to do something about it.

Jordi Alba took out the record.

" Ansu Fati is brought by his father, just like with Jordi Alba," Gerard Piqué once said in the "La Resistencia" program, when asked about the young promise from Barsa. And so he showed one of the many jokes that were made to the tip marker in each practice of the team. Even Alba himself said that Raphael Varane, the Real Madrid defender, made fun of him for this situation in a 2019 classic: "Rat boy, you don't have a driving license."

Now all that is over. The Hospitalet native decided to take driving lessons during quarantine and learned to move behind the wheel. Then he bought a luxurious Range Rover Sport, the price of which starts at $ 200,000. No one can carry it anymore: neither friends nor rivals. In addition, his father, who took him day to day to practice, will be able to rest and feel relieved that his work has already been completed.

After the 4-1 win against Villarreal, Barcelona is preparing for the commitment against Espanyol, next Wednesday, from 17.00. In the clash against the neighbors, they will seek to get within range of Madrid, which beats the Catalans by four units. There are four dates left and the Blaugrana do not depend on themselves to be champions. The picture is very complicated.
