Assist king Jordi Alba enjoying the best season of his career

Jordi Alba was at it again in the Copa del Rey against Sevilla, playing a key role in Barcelona’s 6-1 win.

The full-back grabbed his 11th assist of the season when he set up Luis Suarez for Barcelona’s fifth goal of the night.

He then made it 12 as he got the final touch before Lionel Messi completed the rout with Barcelona’s sixth goal.

Alba now has more assists in a season than he’s managed in his entire top-flight career so far. And it’s only January.

Alba has been consistently brilliant all season long, and he shows absolutely no sign of slowing down.
