Flick’s decision, Raphinha, Pedri and Eric new Barça captains 🔵🔴 FC Barcelona have already chosen their leaders for the start of preseason. Raphinha has been named the Blaugrana side’s interim captain, taking charge of the dressing room at the start of the campaign while the final squad is still being decided. Alongside the Brazilian forward, Pedri and Eric García complete the list of players who will wear the armband on a temporary basis. The board and coaching staff have opted for this formula to maintain internal order during the first few weeks of work. The decision is aimed at giving the group stability in the middle of the transfer window. With the squad not yet finalized, the club prefers to wait before holding the final vote among the players to appoint the four official captains. Flick’s reasons for the decision Hansi Flick explained the reasons behind this temporary measure: "I decided that the captains would be chosen by vote because the squad is not complete yet. I think some players could come in and others could leave. When everything is settled, I will hold the vote. Until then, Raphinha is the captain along with Eric and Pedri." In this way, the three players take on the role of representing the team on the pitch. The dressing room will vote definitively for the armband holders once the transfer period has ended.
