FC Barcelona Squad Dribbles Audi Style

German carmaker Audi is renowned for its support for the Catalonian football club, a collaboration which has already become a tradition for both parties. In fact, Audi stood next to FC Barcelona when it won the Spanish championship, the Spanish “Copa del Rey” cup and the UEFA Champions League in the past season.

For the fourth season in a row, FC Barcelona soccer stars and staff "hit the road" with Audi one more time, receiving the keys to their Audi vehicles at the Castelloli circuit from the hands of the automaker’s officials.

“It is a great honor for us to partner with one of Europe’s best club teams again in the new season. Ever since our partnership started three years ago we have been able to experience many sporting highlights together,”
said Peter Schwarzenbauer, Audi Executive Board Member for Marketing and Sales.

The players and coaches were also provided with an hour of driving lessons with Audi instructors on a handling course as well as a slippery skid pad, which gave the club’s soccer stars the chance to improve their driving skills instead of their dribbling.

As for the models chosen, the squad declared the Q7 3.0 TDI as their favorite. Striker Lionel Messi was the only player to choose the color Mugello blue pearl effect, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic opted for the deep black color. On the other hand, Thierry Henry chose his Q7 in ice silver. However, there were also a couple of Q5s and A5s that were selected by some players as well.
