A star on the field and now captain of the “Blaugrana.”
Lamine Yamal, despite being only 19 years old, is one of the key cogs in the Barcelona and Hansi Flick machine, having already emerged as one of the team’s most important players.
However, in addition to being a dominant force on the field, he is also expected to become… captain, as the young Spaniard is on the shortlist, following a decision by the German coach and a vote by his teammates. This development confirms his ever-growing influence in the locker room, in addition to his impact on the team’s style of play.
Rafinha remains the first captain; however, joining the Brazilian winger will be Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, Eric García, and now Lamine Yamal, who is set to take on a new, particularly important role.
Lamine Yamal has been named one of Barcelona’s captains for this season.
