#2. He is the leader
Lionel Messi became the captain of FC Barcelona after receiving the armband from club legend, Andres Iniesta, who departed the Nou Camp to join Vissel Kobe in the Japanese league this summer - paving the way for a new era at the club.
It is true that the Argentine has been a leader at Barcelona for the past few years, but the captaincy represents a bigger responsibility and a higher level of impact in the Catalan capital. As the leader, the Argentine is in a position where he can have more impact on the team and inspire his mates to fight and deliver success at the Nou Camp.
Fortunately, the attacker has stood up to the responsibility as evidenced in his quote that was included in the previous slide. With Messi aiming to fight for everything as the leader this season, there is no doubt a third treble could land in the Catalan capital during the campaign.
