The defender was seen leaving the Arena da Baixada after the 3-0 win over Australia through the mixed zone, where journalists gather to speak to players. During that time, Alba passed in front of Javier Gómez Matallanas, a reporter for the sports daily AS. “Next time I’ll rip your head off,” he said. “Yes, next time. I’m warning you.”
The confrontation continued as the team headed back to Spain, with Alba again verbally attacked Matallanas. The journalist, upon asked about Alba's words, said that he had no idea because he had not written anything about Alba.
