Following the confirmed departure of Sergi Roberto, Barcelona is set to begin the 2024/25 LaLiga season with Marc-Andre Ter Stegen as their new first-team captain. Roberto, whose contract expired at the end of last season, leaves a leadership void that the club has chosen to fill with Ter Stegen, a long-serving and influential figure within the team.
The 32-year-old German goalkeeper, who often donned the captain’s armband last season due to Roberto’s limited playing time, is expected to officially assume the role full-time. Ter Stegen’s appointment marks a significant shift in Barcelona’s leadership as they embark on the new season.
