Noone in their right mind would have replaced Alba and Busquets in 2016.
Jordi Alba has been shitting the bed in every big match for years now. I was going to be nice and say that his mediocrity has only been recent, then I realized the Atletico UCL matches were 6 years ago. But he wasn't so bad back then, however for the past few he has been awful. It's not "everyone's bad including him" sort of bad, it has been Jordi Alba actively playing against the team by making disastrous decision making plays consistently throughout each match. Fucking Roma, fucking Liverpool, and fucking Bayern - in all matches you will find Jordi Alba making errors directly leading to goals. This guy has been a net negative in UCL KO matches for almost half a decade now.
And he is still here, years later, a main player in the fucking team.
Real Madrid would've tossed this fucker ages ago.
