Real Madrid’s players have once again had the chance to choose their Audi cars, as the German auto maker invited the squad for a formal event held at the team’s training facilities located outside the city in Valdebebas.

As the team’s auto sponsor, each year sees the soccer players take home one of Audi’s latest models. This time, it would seem the company’s Q7 SUV was by far the most popular one among the footballers. Head coach Carlo Ancelotti went for the Audi A8, while Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo picked the fastest option available, the 520 horsepower S8 model. The only other player who went for the same car is defender Sergio Ramos.

Before they could take the cars home, the 22 team-members were also invited to participate in a reflex and co-ordination test. Real’s players had the opportunity to enjoy an unique driving experience and to be the first to try out Audi’s new e-tron hybrid plug-in technology. In fact, they got the chance to test-drive the new Audi A3 Sportback e-tron before it would launch in Spain.

So now you’re probably wishing you’d be a soccer player. Well, what if we'd tell you these sportsmen are actually rich enough to keep these cars in the parking lot. In fact, we recently wrote about a fleet of Chevrolets Manchester United players received back in April. A total of fifteen vehicles were sent, including Camaros and Corvettes, but the cars have rather been gathering dust ever since, with the stars deciding to stick to their own vehicles.

And considering Ronaldo only recently bought a brand new Rolls-Royce Ghost we wouldn’t be surprised he would do the same with this Audi S8 he just got.
