Jordi Alba: 'Barcelona have good feelings about treble hopes'

Barcelona defender Jordi Alba claims that the "feelings" of optimism within the team are stronger than in their treble-winning 2014-15 season.

Barcelona defender Jordi Alba has claimed that the current "feelings" within the team are better than in their treble-winning 2014-15 season.

The Blaugrana are unbeaten in La Liga this season and sit nine points clear at the top of the table.

Ernesto Valverde's charges are also in the Copa del Rey final against Sevilla and face Roma in the Champions League quarter-final first leg at Camp Nou on Wednesday.

"In these moments I have even better feelings," Alba is quoted by BBC Sport as saying.

"This year we could repeat those achievements because not only are we on a good path, but in the three competitions we are performing consistently and at a great level.

"In the dressing room we aren't talking about the treble, but we know for our fans it is a great hope, and for us too, but there is a long way to go.

"We know that we have a great squad and if we are at our usual level we can beat anyone, but this is Roma, who finished first in their group with Atletico Madrid and Chelsea in.

"I'm sure they will give us trouble and we have to play with our fans behind us, which I'm sure will help us."

In 2015, Barca became the first European team to twice win the domestic double and the Champions League in the same season, after achieving the feat in 2008-09.
