Both goals came from Alba and Alonso's side.
Alba has played in plenty of LaLiga games where no goals were conceded.
If you want to blame the bad defensive performance only on Alonso starting ok, do you think we will keep a clean sheet in the return when he's on the bench? Definitely not and we will probably concede 2 or more there as well.
That's not what a 7 goals in 22 games defense looks like even if Alonso started and magically caused the other 3 to play bad. The truth is Liga attackers suck and the xG against confirms it.
