Alba highlighted the work being done by Ernesto Valverde, compating the situation to the one last year under Luis Enrique.
"This year we're playing as a team," Alba said. "This year we are all a great team, we are all really involved. Valverde doesn't get involved in what happens in the dressing room, it reminds me of the first year I arrived here."
Asked about the number of own goals in Barça's favout, Alba said: "Those goals also count. The opposition sit back towards their own goal more and more and it's normal that it happens."
