FC Barcelona is experiencing a significant leadership void within the locker room after the departure of veteran Spanish defender Inigo Martinez to Al-Nassr, which has negatively impacted the team in technical, moral, and behavioral aspects.

Inigo, who was considered an actual leader in coach Hans Flick's system, stood out for his strong personality both on and off the pitch, serving as a reference for his teammates, especially younger players, thanks to his vast experience and ability to motivate the group and intervene to correct behaviors when necessary.

The newspaper confirmed that the Catalan club is fully aware of the magnitude of this void and hopes that one of the current players will step up to take on this leadership role. Although Marc-André ter Stegen, the team captain, has already begun taking steps in this direction, his long injury and absence from the group have hindered his full impact at present.

Other names such as Ronald Araujo, Robert Lewandowski, and Raphinha emerge as potential candidates to lead the team, but the challenge remains in their ability to assert their personalities and lead a young group that requires continuous guidance and steady moral support.
