Barcelona Vice President Elena Ford introduced the team's return to Camp Nou.
A reporter asked: "Will the Camp Nou stadium be named after Messi in the future?" Ford said: "There are many better ways to pay tribute to him."
Ford also said: "Messi will be paid tribute whenever he wants." But she also stressed that holding a celebration during the construction of the stadium would "lose weight". Ford confirmed the club planned to erect a statue in his honor as "this will always be his home".
