Real Madrid coach crashes on motorway after Champions League defeat to Liverpool – with onlookers suggesting players could have suffered ‘nasty whiplash’ if on board

  • Real Madrid suffered a 2-0 Champions League defeat to Liverpool
  • The Spanish giants’ team coach reportedly crashed on the M40 on Thursday

Real Madrid’s team coach has been involved in a crash on the motorway following the club’s defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League.

The accident happened when the bus was traveling southbound on the M40.

Footage has emerged of a stationary trainer on social media after an apparent crash with a lorry.

One driver told the Mail: ‘It probably happened about five minutes before I got there. I almost crashed into the car in front of me because everyone suddenly stopped.

– I couldn’t see if any of the team was on the coach, but it was definitely the Real Madrid brand with all the logos. It was unmistakable.

‘The coach was on the hard shoulder. It was really, really badly smashed in the front, which was crumpled up in the back of a white truck.

‘I don’t think it was the kind of crash where people would have been seriously injured, but I can imagine the people on board would have had some nasty whiplash.

‘There were a few people there but when I went past I didn’t see any players or anyone in tracksuits.’

Warwickshire Police confirmed they had received an accident report but no further information at this time.

Real Madrid suffered a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League on Wednesday evening.

The result left the Spanish giants in 24th place in the revamped competition, leaving the club clinging to the final play-off spot after five games.

Los Blancos have suffered three defeats in five matches in this year’s Champions League.

Real Madrid had officially unveiled the new team coach in October.

The design features a list of trophies won by the club during its history and a large club crest.

The club said the design was also inspired by the style of the revamped Santiago Bernabeu.

It is the second time this year that Real Madrid’s team coach has been involved in an accident.

Spanish newspaper Marca reported in February that the team’s coach had a minor crash ahead of the club’s Champions League round of 16 tie against RB Leipzig.

The incident in February was blamed on a fan who had lost control of his car after filming the team trainer.
