Inter Miami left back Jordi Alba has announced his retirement from the Spain national team.
Alba, who joined his former Barcelona teammates Sergio Busquets and Lionel Messi with Inter Miami this summer, bows out after winning the UEFA Nations League this June in what would be his final Spain appearance.
Overall, the 34-year-old earned 92 caps and scored nine goals after making his senior international debut in October 2011. Alba played in three World Cups, three European Championships, the London Olympics and a Confederations Cup.
In addition to this year’s Nations League, Alba was also a part of Spain’s Euro 2012-winning squad, with the defender scoring in a 4-0 final victory over Italy.
Alba has made eight appearances for Inter Miami since signing in July, scoring one goal and adding two assists.
