Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola met with U2 star Bono before his concert on Tuesday night.

Guardiola was happy to meet with Bono, on the Irishman's request, at the Nou Camp, where they discussed Barca's superb Treble triumph - and also the pop star's music.

Bono greeted Guardiola with a hand shake, a smile and said: "Congratulations on being Treble champions."

He also remarked: "I want to thank the club for all the aid it has given us for this concert and above all the dedication it has shown to humanitarian causes such as the UNICEF advertising on the jersey without getting any economic benefit.

"You are an example in a struggle that concerns us all."

Guardiola replied: "We are very thankful to U2 for choosing this city and the state as a starting point for the world tour."

The coach also presented Bono with a Barca shirt, which the singer wore on stage during the concert.

Catalunya es mes que un club. The city and the "State" I hope they meant Spain since all the Euro that paid Bono to be there had the Spanish kings head on them. Barcelona is "Mes Que un Club" Bollocks. Now Bono who, by the way, represents all the poor of the world while tickets for his show can cost you up to 400€, speaks for the Irish nation as a whole when 80% of Irish people find the guy a total *****, shares time frolicking about with George W Bush, he says FC Barcelona get no financial gain from their jerseys... The UNICEF is an old fashioned loss leader, it makes FC Barcelona seem more benevolent and they do make money from it or because of it. Will the man wear a Madrid Jersey in Madrid? He never wore a Dublin Jersey in Croker and the GAA let him make a racket there. What a ***** tosser, was that a concert for Barcelona fans? ***** idiot!!! ***** Bono you stupid old *****, you know nothing about football and nothing about loving or hating a team. Populist fucker is all he is. Shut up talking and play yer git tar. Barcelona made probably as much out of the concerts, through image rights on DVD´s and the rental of the ground, as they would have out of a sponsorship deal for the jerseys. ***** Bono.
