Lionel Messi is FC Barcelona's new captain after Andres Iniesta's departure to Japan.

Lionel Messi said what every Barca fan wanted to hear. He promised Barca fans that they will bring back the glory to Barcelona, no matter what it takes.

In his first speech as the Barca captain he said “Last season was really good as we did the double but we all felt bad about how it went in the Champions League.

“We promise that this season we will do all we can to bring that beautiful trophy back to the camp nou.”

He said that he is very proud to wear the captain band as it was previously worn by many legends. “It’s a source of great pride to be captain. I know what it means to ear the armband but I am lucky to have great role models such as Puyol, Xavi and the great Andres whom we will miss this season.”
