His authority on the pitch is already undeniable, and Barcelona are actively recognising his status.<\/p>\n<p>The Catalan giants are no strangers to young leaders wearing the armband. Two years ago, Gavi famously took the armband from Pedri in a comeback appearance against Sevilla at 20 years and 76 days old, making him the club&#8217;s second-youngest captain in a competitive match.<\/p>\n<p>The record for the youngest player to wear the armband during a game remains with Bojan Krkic, who led the side in a 2010 Copa del Rey tie at 20 years and 56 days old.
