Jordi Alba Ramos but commonly known as Jordi Alba is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Major League Soccer club Inter Miami and captains the Spain national team.
He is often regarded as one of the best left-backs of his generation.
His parents have stood by his side since the beginning, and now they play a crucial role in his brand – but who are they?
Jordi Alba parents
Jordi Alba was born on 21 March 1989 in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, Spain to his parents Maria Jose ( Mother) and (Father), Alba Miguel.
Alba’s Parents were both football fans and helped their son on the early stages of his footballing journey.
When he turned 7, his parents enrolled him into their home town local club, Hospitalense.
Alba impressed right from the start and soon was given a chance for a trial with Barcelona’s famous football academy, La Masia.
Jordi Alba’s father, Alba Miguel drives his son to training sessions
During his time in Barcelona, Alba’s father used to drop him during training sessions while at Barcelona.
Gerard Pique made this revelation about his teammate.
Pique was asked how 17-year-old teammate Ansu Fati gets to training and the defender revealed the same way Alba does – by his dad.
“His Dad brings him,” he said. “Just like Jordi Alba.” Pique adds.
A revelation which is now rounding on the internet and making fans wonder why Alba is still off the steering.
It was later revealed that Alba doesn’t have a license.
It’s uncertain whether this practice continues now that he plays for Inter Miami.
