Jordi Alba will be joining his former Barcelona teammates Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets. Argentina’s World Cup winner, Messi, and former Barca CDM Busquets have already made the switch to Major League Soccer in the United States.
The reunion of Messi, Busquets, and Alba in the world of football is like a lovely symphony playing in supporters’ hearts, bringing back memories of a team that revolutionized modern-day football with their brilliance and friendship. Beckham’s ambition to make an effort to reunite Messi’s former Barcelona teammates Andreas Iniesta and Luis Suarez, and build a dream team that could revolutionize the sport, is like seeing magic unfold on the field.
According to recent developments, former Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta could line up with his former teammates in Miami.
