Teammates vote Andres Iniesta as Barcelona captain

By , Features Editor
The Barcelona players vote for Andres Iniesta to be their new captain following the recent departure of Xavi.

Barcelona have confirmed that Andres Iniesta will be the club's new skipper next season.

The decision was made at Camp Nou by the playing squad, who took part in a secret ballot earlier today.

The 31-year-old has taken on the responsibility from Xavi following his recent switch to Qatar, while Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets have retained their positions as immediate deputies.

Meanwhile, Javier Mascherano has been named Barca's fourth captain and will wear the armband if the other three players are not available for selection.
