Over the years, Joldi Alba has given out his best for Barcelona and has been one of the most consistent full backs in Europe and now that he's moved to the Major League Soccer, I think he better knows his reasons.
Alba is 34 years of age already and definitely wouldn't produce the kind of performances he was known for at Barcelona which is why I think it is a good decision to leave with his head held high
Being 34 years old and still being a wing-back is quite a difficult task because it is certain that your opponent will have an attacking player with extraordinary stamina and be a very reliable runner. Therefore, Joldi Alba has a very important task because you have to take care of opposing players who will usually attack through the flanks.
