Messi posted a set of photos on social media last night of himself stepping onto the new Camp Nou. According to media reports, Barcelona did not know Messi was coming back, which caused a lot of heated discussion.
Messi went to Spain with Argentina for training on the national team match day, but before reporting, he first came to Barcelona. He had dinner with DePaul and later the two headed to Camp Nou together.
Santi, Radio Ser reporter Ovalle said when talking about the matter: "Messi didn't want Laporta to use his image, so he didn't notify anyone in advance. But I don't know if there were other operations behind it. Now Laporta has a lot of power. Messi will not support him in the election."
The reporter also said: "I don't think Messi will participate in it (Barcelona presidential election), but it is not ruled out that he will speak out in some form. Today's visit is to leave his mark on the recent development of the club."
