Stegen violates the rules of the Catalan club.. Barcelona players choose “team leaders!”

The Catalan club players chose the list of five leaders who will carry the captaincy in the Blaugrana battalion this season.
Marc-Andre ter Stegen - Ronald Araujo - Rafinha - Pedri - Frenkie de Jong were chosen as captains of the Catalan club this season.
This is a change in a rule that has long been in effect in the Catalan club, which is that the team captain must be a graduate of the Catalan club’s youth team and sons of “La Masia”.
Stegen came to Barcelona from Borussia Mönchengladbach in the 2014-2025 season, meaning he is spending his tenth season within the walls of the Catalan club.
