After suffering a defeat at the hands of Barcelona on Sunday night, the hapless evening of Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema was completed after he was involved in a car crash.

Los Blancos' returned to Valdebebas on the team coach, where they then went their separate ways back to their respective homes.

However, AS report that Benzema's journey ended prematurely after he drove his Audi into some barriers and then an oak tree close to his house.

His car was badly damaged, but fortunately for the 21-year-old, he emerged unscathed despite crashing at around 40-50 kilometres an hour.

The accident took place at around 02:00 CET on Monday morning. A number of other Real Madrid players, such as Raul and Cristiano Ronaldo, live in the same area.
