[Saba Sports News] According to Spanish media, the entire Barcelona squad received a luxurious gift after training recently — luxury Swiss watch brand Hublot presented them with timepieces worth more than 4,000 euros apiece. It is reported that all first-team players and some coaching staff members of Barcelona have been given the gifts. Interestingly, the presents were planned to be handed out ever since Barcelona claimed the La Liga title last season, yet they were only officially delivered after the club secured another league crown this campaign. Many members in the dressing room joked about the incident. Quite a few players put on their new watches straight away and left the training ground wearing them right after practice. The news has sparked heated discussions among football fans. Some argue that as a renowned watchmaker, Hublot’s products are likely priced higher than the stated 4,000 euros in the actual market. Others teased about its market positioning by comparing it with other watch brands. Nevertheless, most fans speak highly of this championship souvenir, regarding it as a generous reward from the club to acknowledge the players’ title-winning efforts.
The editor believes that it has been a week of celebrations for Barcelona, with victory parades, private parties, players’ birthdays and dinners coming one after another. The team previously held a grand dinner at a beach club in Castelldefels, which was also attended by senior club officials.
