Real Madrid’s team bus involved in crash on UK motorway day after Liverpool defeat in Champions League

Madrid's week went from bad to worse as only a few hours after losing to rivals Liverpool in the Champions League, the team bus was spotted in an accident on the UK's M40 motorway. The video online showed the branded coach in the back of a lorry, with slow-moving cars trundling past and getting a good look at the crash. It appeared that only minor damage was done to both vehicles, with no one being harmed in the incident.

The bus collision coming so soon after Madrid's car-crash performance at Anfield is reflective of the season they are having under Carlo Ancelotti. They have been marred by big injuries in recent weeks, losing Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo and remain at serious risk of crashing out of the Champions League if they do not get their act together for the final three games. The team, alongside their bus, is in desperate need of repairs ahead of the busy Christmas period.

The Madrid players would not have had any problem getting back to Spain as they prepare for Getafe on Sunday. As for the bus driver, he may be getting a slap on the wrist but the repair price is not something that will concern the European giants.
