OFFSIDE: FC Barcelona – Now fastest on the road too
Automobile giants and FC Barcelona official sponsor Audi, yesterday presented each member of the squad an Audi Q5 or an Audi Q7, of which they can chose one for their own.
Most of the players were seen to have a preference for the Q7, which has a Quattro 3.0 liter TDI engine with tiptronic control delivering a whopping 240bhp. Puyol and Bojan were amongst the few who picked the Q5.
The delivery was made on the Castelloli circuit in the province of Barcelona where the players took a test drive of both the cars.
The partnership between Audi and FC Barcelona goes back to the 2006/2007 season. The players, coach and officials get to drive their sports cars. In return, Audi is able to publicize itself in Barça’s home games at the Camp Nou – the biggest in Europe, with a capacity of almost 100,000 – and at joint activities and events.
Not fare! I want one too!!!! Damn you rich footballers! Get lots and lots of money and a free cars to boot!
On second thought, Barça players deserve it!
Força Barça!
lol chygrynskiy will probably give his away since he doesn't like sports cars on the other hand an audi can be classified as a classy gentleman's car too if driven within the speed limit of wherever you live.
I don't think they own the car. The just get another new one each year which they can drive around for a year.
LOL that was what I thought. "The rich gets richer".
lucky ass bastards; they get paid enough already! donate those cars to fans, already.
I was always saying that the more you get richer, the more things you get for free. It is a paradox.
The Audi R8 is one of my dream cars!
Abidal's orange Q7 was hot last year. Anyone remember?
