"Mistakes form part of life. They make you feel really bad," he said
Barcelona players are beginning to show thir faces again after Tuesday's shock Champions League defeat to Liverpool when they lost 4-0 to throw away a three-goal first leg lead.
The players had been silent since then on social media, until Arturo Vidal's post on Friday. Jordi Alba has now followed suit with a message of his own.
"Mistakes form part of life. They make you feel really bad. The important thing is how we deal with them, how we react," Alba wrote. Accompanied by an image of Friday's training session, he added: "Always believe in hard work, in your teammates, in the team. Always work to be better."
Alba's message comes in rsponse to the criticism he has received for his part in the loss. He was at fault for the first and second goals.
More players are expected to post on social media in the coming days as Barça prepare to return to action against Getafe on Sunday at Camp Nou.

The same type of mistakes every season followed by #sorry4derror. Barća lacks alot of commitment, determination hard work. They play behave like ladies in some games. Hardly win away games, hardly score and win matches without Messi on the pitch. After resting all the players before heading to Liverpool and at the end they came back with shame against a club that had no rest during the week. It's even better you guys had no break at all and loose against Liverpool than to had all the rest and still travel to give away all the 3 goals lead. Champions league matches against Juventus last 2 season, against Roma last season and against Liverpool this season, shows how week and unserious Barća players are. They lack fighting spirit. Always believe winning in their home but afraid of winning away games.

My fellow Barca fans please don't blame the players for what happened, they all played to the instructions of their boss. This is a coach who has a 3 - 0 advantage, why can't he defend the goals. Foutenately he has the players that can help him achieve that: Athur one of the best -holding midfielders, Semendo- a master stopper, Carles Alena in place of Cotinho. Instead he used players like Suarez, S Roberts and Cotinho. This 3 players are the main reason why Barca team collapsed that day.

When I used to used to think Jordi was the best leftback presently but then I saw Andy Robertson

Why you guys try to crucify Alba for his mistakes, you know your whole team didn't play anything at Camp Nou, and only got so lucky to get the 3 goals that you so boasted and bragged about... Of course it was a big expectation full of mistakes to think you come to Liverpool and still win forgetting so easily how we had the ball for whole time in d first leg. As the whole team didn't play well in a match it's the defence that suffer. that's what happened. it's too bad when Barcelona team plays well and win they get praised when they meet a better team and get trashed they still get praised.

iam a liverpool fan and really happy for my club and also i feel bad for jordi alba and barcelona. they also have dreams like us. they have the dream and ambition to see their club winning but we all are people and we have to accept that football is like that. sometimes it make us really happy sometimes not. it just a matter of time. But our passion for the club, love, affection should be always with the club even the darkest hours. Just believe it. The dawn is just before the darkest hour💪Always feel proud for Your club. Never loose the faith. because our support is the backbone of our team💪❤

Well and truly, he didnt even have a bad game. If anything, he was better than Robertson and still got blamed just cos Barca lost just like they also blame Messi. Him and Messi were the only players really in the game. The rest were asleep... Barca played like the tie is over while Liverpool like the tie is still on, that's what won the game in the end. Difference in mentality.... Barca have cost themselves many times for this reason. After 3 goal leads they think they've won... Ultimately for the little time Robertson was on, he was only good defensively to some extent but going forward he was nonexistent. Pool attacks other than the last came from the middle.... Lenglet and Pique were the poorest of the Barca crop....
