- Thierry Henry wants y'all to say hello to Dobu, the official teddy bear of the AIDS foundation jointly organized by FC Barcelona and UNICEF. Titi got to meet him along with Leo Messi, Rafa Marquez, Andres Iniesta and Bojan Krkic yesterday (more pictures here) while other Barca players previously shot an ad for the campaign, which is aimed at children through having them play a series of games. They have to try and save Dobu from AIDS, thus learning more about the disease; and in the end winners will be entered in a draw to win a Dobu teddy signed by all the Barca players.
- Last Monday, the Barca boys all recieved the first copies of the picture book "Barça. The best year of our life" which brings together the decisive moments of what has been an unforgettable 2009 for the club. As the official site reports, the idea for the book came from the players themselves. Check out more pictures of them lookingat it here, and run out and get your copy now, especially as all proceeds are headed to the club's Foundation!.
- Some of you might know that the parents of Cristina Serra, Pep's wife, own a men's and women's clothing store in Manresa called Serra Claret. What you probably don't know is that Leo Messi likes to shop there, often making the 53 mile drive from his home just to get there. None of the other current Barca boys are known to get their clothes from there, though the likes of Johan Cruyff and Luis Figo have frequented the store, which traditionally carries athlete's wear.
