New Captains

The club has just announced the new captains:

Ter Stegen first captain

Ronald Araujo second (will be the one to talk with the refree as only the captain may talk with the referee starting this La Liga season (https://www.rtve.es/deportes/20240813/arbitros-liga-espanola-expulsiones-temporales-capitanes/16217286.shtml) but the player should be an outfield player)

Frenkie de Jong third

Pedri fourth

They announced them here: https://x.com/FCBarcelona_cat/status/1826992848383656051?t=cQz4qvPlF6EF6TQEu3WvFg&s=19 JJBBSS 02 (talk) 15:09, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could you include the link to the Catalan version? It's so surprising not finding it

Question: why? M.Bitton (talk) 21:59, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done The Catalan article is about all of the teams under the FC Barcelona family, while the English article is specifically about the men's football team. Wikidata—the project that links subjects across languages—distinguishes the two so it won't connect these. It's a strange way to set it up, but it's explained in the banner at the top of the Catalan article. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 00:47, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

add to `2021-present` part about Xavi leave and Hansi Flick coming to the club as manager. Here is a sample text but feel free to edit and change it:

""" On 29 May 2024, Hansi Flick was appointed as the new head coach of Barcelona on a contract until 30 June 2026, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the club's history. The German manager arrived with a wealth of experience, having previously led Bayern Munich to a historic treble in the 2019-20 season.

Flick's impact was immediate. He instilled a new sense of discipline and tactical awareness in the squad, and the team's performances improved significantly. Barcelona started the 2024-25 La Liga season with a 2-1 victory over Valencia, ending a two-year streak of opening day draws. Despite a 4-2 defeat to Osasuna in September, Flick guided the team to a dominant 4-0 victory over Real Madrid at the Bernabéu in October, his first El Clásico in charge.

Flick's emphasis on possession-based football and attacking play quickly won over the fans, and there was a renewed sense of optimism around the club. """ Ghaffarinia (talk) 22:18, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
