Random: Concert Prepping, Cars for Cups and Gio's Baby Bro

- U2 are really kicking it up in Camp Nou, getting ready for the upcoming opening concert of their 360° world tour. The band's been rehearsing every day in the stadium, practicing such a wide variety of songs, there's no way of knowing just what they'll play when the time comes. The stage, which was erected over the pitch a few days ago, is turning alot of eyes too - we can't say we're much fans of the design ourselves.

- Gerard Pique did an interview recently for Sport, and said that Cesc Fabregas will eventually end up wearing the Barca shirt. We'd very much like to believe him. And seeing what great buddies the two are, perhaps we can trust Geri on this one...

- As their reward for having won the treble, Barca president Joan Laporta decided that the best gift to make to the players would be to give them each a car. The vehicles are from Audi, a sponsor of Barcelona, and the lads all got to choose the model of their choice. There's no goss on what each player picked exactly, except that Leo opted for the luxurious Q7, which most of the others went with as well. We're betting that includes Eto'o, Barca's very own car connoisseur.

- Everyone remembers Giovani Dos Santos, yes? He was supposed to be a teen wonder for Barca, but sadly wasn't so hot when he did get his call-up to the first team; things weren't much better for him after leaving to Tottenham, either. But his baby brother, Jonathan Dos Santos, may be a different story. Nineteen-year-old Jonathan is the captain of Barca's youth team where he plays, and is said to be even more talanted than his bro. Pep's reportedly been keeping an eye on him, and Jonny should be on the lookout for a call-up soon! Not to mention, he's the cutest thing since Bojan.
