J.Alba: "I always wish to experience a defeat of Madrid's "Real"

The defender of the Spanish national team and Barcelona, Jordi Alba, stated that he dislikes Real Madrid so much that he always wishes them bad luck.

"As a Barcelona man, I always wish for the royal team to experience failure," the player told the "Marca" newspaper.

"However, we need to focus on our team's performances - that is the most important thing. We have to win all the matches if we want to surpass our opponents in the championship, which is almost impossible."

Alba also defended his teammate Neymar, who has been criticized in recent weeks for his provocative behavior on the pitch.

"The Brazilian doesn't fly high and likes to play football in his own style. Everyone who knows him understands that," he said.

"Neymar doesn't try to offend his opponents. He doesn't deliberately try to annoy people."
