Barcelona forward Ferran Torres has come out to say that Marc-André ter Stegen remains the captain of the team. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the team is yet to discuss appointing another captain at this point in time, so he expects the experienced Marc Ter Stegen to keep the armband.
Ferran added that the German goalie has been around for many years, therefore he is more than qualifed for the role.
His words, “I don’t know if there will be a vote or not; we haven’t spoken, or at least I’m not aware of it, but Ter Stegen, just because of his experience and the years he’s been around, I think he’ll be captain.”
WOW.
Futbol Club Barcelona is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.
Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona. It is the third-most valuable sports team in the world, worth $5.51 billion, and the world’s fourth richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €582.1 million.
The official Barcelona anthem is the “Cant del Barça”, written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs. Barcelona traditionally play in dark shades of blue and garnet stripes, hence nicknamed Blaugrana.
In March 2021, Lionel Messi overtook Xavi’s record of 767 games played for the club, and presently has made 778 official appearances in all competitions, while also holding the record for the most appearances in La Liga matches for Barcelona, with 520.
