The new captain of "Barcelona" Lionel Messi continued the team tradition and delivered a speech to the fans gathered at the "Camp Nou" stadium. From Carles Puyol, Xavi, and Andres Iniesta, the Argentinean learned the secrets of being a captain, and this year he will lead the Catalonians not only on the field but also beyond. "First of all, I want to emphasize how honored I am to be the captain. I know what it means to be the captain of this team. I had very good teachers like Puyol, Xavi, and the wonderful Andres, who we will greatly miss this year. Speaking of this year, we cannot wait for this team. The newcomers will help us become better than we are. Although we won "La Liga" and "Copa del Rey" last year, we were bitterly defeated in the Champions League. We promise to do everything we can to bring back that beautiful Champions League trophy to the "Camp Nou" stadium," Messi said.
