"Earlier today, Marc Ciria, one of the pre-candidates for the upcoming FC Barcelona presidential elections, unveiled a giant banner featuring club legend Lionel Messi. The banner depicted the iconic image of the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner holding up his Barça shirt to the crowd at the Santiago Bernabeu. The banner also included a QR code allowing supporters to send video messages of affection and support to the former captain."
"Following the reaction generated by the banner featuring Messi, Ciria presented the electoral headquarters of 'Moviment 42' in Barcelona. Just metres from the Spotify Camp Nou, in a room named the "Messi Room", Ciria described the banner initiative as a tribute. "We do things right. That's what I'll tell you. This is a tribute. The tribute he didn't receive when he was expelled from the club, and which he deserves. We hope to live up to it," said Ciria."
