Lamine Yamal has been included among Barcelona’s captains for this season, according to Fabrizio Romano, citing Mundo Deportivo. The decision was taken with the backing of head coach Hansi Flick as well as through a vote conducted among the players.
The confirmation represents a significant milestone for the young forward, who has now been brought into the club’s leadership group only a few years after making his first-team debut. Romano’s report presents the move as a joint decision, with Flick supporting it and the dressing room also voting in favour of his inclusion.
No additional details have been provided on the full composition of the wider captaincy group, and Barcelona have not issued any further statement on the matter beyond what was reported by Mundo Deportivo. The report also does not set out any order of seniority or clarify how Yamal’s addition will affect who wears the armband on a particular matchday.
At present, that is the full extent of what has been officially communicated: Yamal is part of the captaincy group, with both the coach and the squad understood to support the decision. Any clearer picture of the group’s structure will depend on later confirmation from the club or further reporting from Spanish media.
