Top 5 candidates to be Barcelona's next captain 

#2 Gerard Piqué

Gerrard Piqué - FC Barcelona

Piqué already acts as a captain without the official title, as he is experienced and committed to the Blaugrana cause. Having spent years at the Camp Nou club, the La Masia graduate has an impressive trophy cabinet with both club and country which proves his excellence in his position.

But that's not it, Pique is active not only on but also off the field. The defender is never afraid to make bold statements and he is a player who could firmly table his thoughts in front of the media.

Now 31, this may finally be his chance to become the next Barcelona captain. The only thing standing in the way is his controversial statements and tweets every now and then.
