With the arrival of Lionel Messi: Who will be the captain of PSG?

Throughout Messi's years at Barcelona, the Argentine has had three captains: Carles Puyol, Xavi Hernández and Andrés Iniesta. With the passage of time, each of them retired and, thus, Messi was named the first captain of the team in the 2018 season until his departure from the club.

Although criticized by the press for "non-traditional" attitudes of a captain, Leo Messi has been maturing in his figure as a leader in both Barcelona and Argentina. In recent times in Spain, a more serious Messi could be seen on the field and with more attitude in terms of interaction with his teammates on the field.

The same example has happened in Argentina:  Messi of this last Copa América or 2019, declaring against Conmebol, is different from 4 years ago. With all the experience of more than 16 years of career, 37 titles under his arm and six Ballons d'Or, Messi arrives at PSG as a reference to a team precisely full of references and figures.

In front of him are Marquinhos, Kimpembe and Navas as the possible first three captains of PSG. However, with the arrival of Sergio Ramos, it is impossible to think that he would not be a serious candidate to assume the leadership of the group.

And Neymar? In his time as a coach, Thomas Tuchel declared that he did not give the captaincy to Neymar because he wanted him to focus on playing. Perhaps, Neymar's attitudes on the court and his style of play do not leave him as a figure that others can take as a leader.

So, Ramos, Messi or Marquinhos? Perhaps the Brazilian will have no problem giving up the ribbon, but the remaining two, rivals for many years in Spanish football, will now have to live in the same squad.
