Real Madrid's team bus was reportedly involved in a collision on the M40 highway, according to The Mirror. Photos and videos shared on social media show the bus after it collided with a truck.
It is said that there were no players or staff members on board at the time of the incident, and fortunately, no one was injured in the crash. The team typically flies home right after matches, while the club bus is driven separately. It appears that the bus was involved in the incident while making its way back after the game.
The Real Madrid team bus is a luxury vehicle, recently updated in October 2024.
This unfortunate event capped off a disappointing trip for the Spanish side to Liverpool for their Champions League encounter. Madrid lost 2-0 at Anfield, with two missed penalties during the match – both Mohamed Salah and Kylian Mbappé failed to convert.
Liverpool now tops the tournament's overall standings with a perfect record, while Real Madrid finds themselves in 24th place, the last spot that secures qualification for the Champions League knockout rounds.
