"The two assists I gave were important but the first was thanks to Leo."I hope he renews. It will be good for us and also for him. We're superior with him. We haven't spoken with Leo about it, but I hope he stays." Alba hopes his performance against Osasuna will earn him more favourable treatment by the media for the next week. The Spain international believes he was unfairly singled out in the wake of the Clasico last Saturday, in which he was filmed calling Real Madrid's Mateo Kovacic "stupid" and telling him to "learn Spanish"."They're things that are said during a game," he said. "They're always reported in the same way."People say things to me, too. It's been a while now with just reports about what I say. "And I know where [the reports] come from. It does damage for no reason."They always go after me. I hope that everyone who has spoken ill of me speaks well of me after today."</blockquote>
