Barcelona fullback Alba happy to claim Spain goal

Barcelona fullback Jordi Alba was delighted to be on the mark for Spain in victory over Belarus.

Alba's effort was clearly offside, but he'll take the goal.

"It doesn't matter if it was offside. The ones that go on the scoreboard are the ones that count," he said.

"It was a good bit of team play. Pedro picked me out fantastically, with his back-heel, which put me through and let me score with my right. I'm very happy with the goal.

"I'm happy with how things are going, and I'm always happy to score. I'm comfortable with Spain and with Barcelona."
