Inter Miami’s Jordi Alba retires from International football

Jordi Alba, the seasoned defender who recently embarked on a new journey with Inter Miami in the MLS, has made the decision to retire from international football, reported by goal.com. This move comes as Alba acknowledges the challenges posed by his transition to the American league, including differences in scheduling and extensive travel demands.

The 34-year-old’s decision to step back from his international career has been attributed to the unique circumstances that come with playing in the MLS, which differ significantly from the rigors of European football. This realization has led Alba to conclude that he is content to conclude his international endeavors with Spain.

While the retirement marks the end of an era, Alba can look back on his international career with pride. He was a pivotal part of Spain’s successes, contributing significantly to their victories in both the 2012 European Championship and the UEFA Nations League earlier this year. With an impressive tally of 93 caps for the national team, Alba also managed to find the back of the net 10 times during his international appearances.
