Enjoy! :D

Yeah but they still have to DRIVE to the stadium/training-ground. They're not getting picked up from the team bus at home.

Haha! Manchester United get the same deal as us I believe. Audi is their official vehicle sponsor as well and Rooney drives the Audi RS6 Saloon.

Last year's car distribution: http://www.totalbarca.com/2009/news/offside-fc-ba... (more: http://www.totalbarca.com/2009/news/chygrynskiy-a... )

"At the beginning of each season, Audi gives a car to all of the first team players, as well as to the head coach. Pep Guardiola turned his down, arguing that if there weren’t a car for all of the technical staff, then there should not be one for him, either." : http://www.totalbarca.com/2010/news/guardiola-att...

No they don't keep the cars unless they buy them. Every season they get offered new cars by Audi (as they are our main vehicle sponsor) and return the old ones back to them. By accepting a car from Audi, the players are required to drive them to matches @ the Camp Nou (and training as well I believe). Basically, they are advertising Audi's brand by driving their cars.

The players are not required to take a car and it's only optional. It has also been reported that Pep has refused to take a car from the sponsor in the past and this year again because the other members of the technical team don't have the privilege of getting one.

I wish him a quick recovery! Visca el Barça!

This issue has been happening for some while now... it has stopped with most people but there are still some that are encountering it.

Try reconnecting and it should usually work after 3 or 4 tries.
