Marc-Andre ter Stegen named Barcelona’s fourth captain

Barcelona have confirmed that goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen has been named the fourth captain for the rest of the season.

The Germany international takes the armband after a position was made available following Gerard Pique’s decision to retire.

Ter Stegen now joins Sergio Busquets, Sergi Roberto and Jordi Alba as the club’s captains for 2022-23.

The goalkeeper spoke about the possibility of taking over as captain in an interview with Mundo Deportivo earlier this week.

“I already said that wearing the armband at Barça is super special and the times I’ve been able to do it I’ve worn it with great pride,” he said.
