"Following Marc-Andre ter Stegen's loan exit to Girona, there has been a slight change to Barcelona's leadership hierarchy. The German international was undisputedly the club's main captain. But now that he is not a part of the team during the second half of the season, Barça have chosen a new primary captain. That captain is none other than Ronald Araujo, the struggling defender who has yet to play any football since his costly error vs Chelsea."
"As reported by Que Thi Jugues, Araujo becomes Barcelona's primary captain, meaning the Uruguayan international will wear the armband whenever he plays. Frenkie de Jong will be the second captain for Barcelona, as he ranks among the most experienced players in the current setup. The third place goes to Pedri, who has recently suffered an injury."
"Interestingly, for the fifth captaincy role, Barcelona have decided to share the responsibility to two players, Eric Garcia and Ferran Torres. Torres has been a part of the Barcelona setup for quite some time now, and his ascension makes sense. The same can be said for Garcia, who deserves appreciation for the rapid growth under Flick. As a homegrown La Masia talent, Garcia will relish the opportunity to become Barcelona's fifth captain."
Marc-Andre ter Stegen moved on loan to Girona, creating a change in Barcelona's leadership hierarchy. Ronald Araujo becomes the club's primary captain and will wear the armband whenever he plays despite having not played since his costly error vs Chelsea. Frenkie de Jong is the second captain due to his experience. Pedri is the third captain; he has recently suffered an injury, is relatively young but highly valued, and also has over 200 appearances, supporting his suitability. Raphinha is fourth after emerging as a leader under Hansi Flick. The fifth captaincy is shared between Eric Garcia and Ferran Torres, with Garcia as a La Masia talent and Torres ascending in leadership.
