Jordi Alba does not believe that we are witnessing the end of an era at Barcelona and complained about the "disrespect" towards some Barça players over the course of the season.

The Catalan player said that people have tried to write off Barcelona at times, speaking in front of the 'Onda Cero' and 'Radio MARCA' microphones. "End of an era? I've seen a lot of disrespect towards players," he assured.

Nevertheless, the Barcelona full-back was critical of the team's performances during the season which has just ended. "When you've done something badly, you don't need anyone to tell you." In this regard, he rued not having reached the Champions League final with his side. "I would have liked to have played in the final in Lisbon. We have to worry about ourselves, not other teams," he remarked.

As for the latest developments within the Barcelona camp, he is optimistic about the future. He admitted that he has a good feeling about his new manager, Luis Enrique. "He is a really motivational character. He got some very good things across when he was unveiled," he assured. He also thinks that Gerard Deulofeu's return is a good thing: "He is a different kind of player and will offer us a lot."
