Iniesta Against Italy
FC Barcelona's midfield maestro Andres Iniesta has been adjudged the Best Player of the Tournament. Going into the final he and Pirlo were the major contender, but his brilliant display took Pirlo out of the equation. He was also adjudged the Man of the Match in the final. Five Barca players managed to find place in EURO 2012 official 23 Man Squad of the tournament. If we add the impending signing of Alba, then it's six.
FC Barcelona management has confirmed that they have everything in place to sign the Spanish left-back, Jordi Alba from his club Valencia as soon as the player return from International duties. It was rumoured that Barca had a deal to sign the player even before the Euro 2012 started. Now it looks like a very good thing as hi performance in Euro naturally should have upped the price a lot. Barca will pay 14 Million Euros for the rising Spanish star, who once was a member of Barca youth team. It is not clear how the payment is structured. Barca were actually willing to pay only 11 Million Euros and it looks like we will be only paying 11 million now and will pay 3 million as bonus. Jordi Alba is expected to sign a deal which will tie him with the club for the next five years.
