The first team members of FC Barcelona received their brand new Audi vehicles for the 2016/17 season on Thursday.
During the event held at the Camp Nou, next to the 1899 Auditorium, Luis Enrique’s men took part in several fun games and activities alongside the new models of Barça’s premium partner.
Once Thursday’s training session had ended, the players headed to the Camp Nou where president Josep Maria Bartomeu and various directors of Audi were present to get things underway.
After that, it was time for the players to drive off, one by one, in their shiny new automobiles. Each player was able to choose a brand new, really expensive luxury vehicle.
Take a wild guess who picked out the most expensive car out of the bunch. Yep, it was Neymar. The Brazilian drove home the Audi RS7, which is valued at around $164,590. The one Messi got, which many others did as well, starts at about $75,000.
The squad and manager Luis Enrique took part in a driving skills circuit set up by the club partner before receiving the cars they’ll drive this season.
