Bayern Prankster Ribery Crashes Team Bus!

Bayern Munich midfielder Franck Ribery was left slightly embarrassed after he crashed his team bus into a pair of signs in Dubai.

Franck Ribery - France

Franck Ribery may be a maestro on the field, but he is not so good behind the wheel. The French midfielder caused some minor damage on Friday, smashing his team bus into a pair of signs in Dubai.

Bayern Munich are currently on retreat in the United Arab Emirates, where Ribery decided to "hijack" the team bus, according to Tuttosport.

However, it appears his little joke did not pan out, as he knocked over a couple of street signs and left the bus with several scratches along it's side.

After the accident, Ribery's Bayern teammates poked fun at their star player turned poor driver.

"Unfortunately, now everyone knows what Ribery's driving is like," sighed coach Jurgen Klinsmann. Meanwhile, fellow midfielder Tim Borowski joked about how it was an "unfortunate situation."

However, on a more serious note, Bayern and Ribery may be fined as the player does not have a license to drive a coach bus and did cause minor damage to the property.
