The Ballon d’Or awards ceremony will take place next Monday, an edition in which, for the first time since 2003, they will be absent at the same time Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. He talked about it Jordi Alba on the eve of the match that Inter Miami will play against Atlanta United in the MLS playoffs: “For me Leo must always be there, perhaps they didn’t give him importance because he plays in the USA but he continues to make the difference. For me he is without a doubt the best in the world and with Argentina he continues to make the difference. He is the best and has always shown it, but now there are new faces.”
The MLS playoffs: “It will already be clear who the main candidates for the title are. I had already said that we would not win because we have the individuals, but because of the work we were doing on the pitch. A spectacular job, I think we are stronger at home , with our people,” said the former Barcelona full-back.
