Left-backs are usually acclaimed for the technical proficiency they show in threatening opponents and teaming up with their teams’ attacking forces. Besides their primary role as a defender, a left-back pair up with attackers especially by delivering important crosses to them. So who is the best left back in the world right now?



1. Jordi Alba



Club : Barcelona

Jordi Alba began his career at Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy but was released during his youth. After showing Barca what they were missing while at Valencia though, Alba went back to Camp Nou in 2012 - and hasn’t looked back since.

In a team consisting of Lionel Messi, Frenkie De Jong and Antoine Griezmann, Alba isn’t the flashiest star on the team sheet, but his consistency over the past eight years has been astonishing, with Barcelona not really having a back-up for him last season. Alba has established himself as a formidable defender and an option in the final third that most clubs would take further forward, too; proving himself to be the complete full-back for club and country.

2) Andy Robertson



Club : Liverpool

Claiming the silver medal in our top 10 best left-backs list is a player who’s emerged from the third division of Scottish football to the heady heights of European glory.

Yes, it’s Andy Robertson.

The Liverpool man has had a rapid rise to prominence after Jurgen Klopp snapped up him up from Hull City in 2013 for an absolute steal of eight million pounds. Six years on and he’s played in two Champions League finals in two years, with one medal to his name.

Robbo was at his peak for the Reds last season, playing a massive role in their run to both the Champions League final and the title chase, with special mention to his performance in Liverpool’s 4-0 win over Barcelona.

Robbo is not there yet. Still needs to work on his finishing.

Marcelo is way past his prime but na agba on his own so maximum respect.

Even though he's still young and since it's 2020, Alphonso Davies should be there
