the departure of Lionel Messi from FC Barcelona upsets many habits within the club and in the locker room. The Argentinian was for several seasons the captain of the Catalan club and leaves behind his armband.
From this season it is therefore Sergio Busquets who will take over from the six-fold Golden Ball. The 33-year-old midfielder was already the team’s vice-captain, with 629 appearances for the Blaugranas since 2008. He will be replaced by Gerard Piqué, Sergi Roberto and Jordi Alba who form the hard core of the Barcelona dressing room.
