Alejandro Balde says he feels comfortable with Barcelona's senior players this season.

The wing-back has been outstanding for Barca this term.

He told Sport: "Yes, I feel much more comfortable because last year I was here for a week, another at Barça B, then I didn't play here and trained with them... It was a bit hard because I didn't know where I was and I couldn't adapt well to both teams. I didn't feel like I belonged to any team. This year I already feel like one more of the locker room.

"My football reference is Jordi (Alba), I have always noticed him because he plays in my position.

"And if I get along, I get along very well with Pablo Torre, Ansu, Gavi, Pedri, Raphinha, Kessie… With almost everyone."

On teams he admires, Balde added: "Well, nowadays many teams... You see Bayern and they have wingers that go up like crazy, in the Premier if you watch games all the wingers go up. Today I think there are many teams that play with a style in which the wingers go up a lot. That's what I like. A lot."
