Real Madrid's team bus appears to have been involved in a crash just a day after they lost to Liverpool at Anfield.
On Wednesday evening, Carlo Ancelotti's side fell 2-0 to Liverpool at Anfield in the Champions League, with goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo preserving the Reds perfect record in Europe this term. While the game promised to be an exciting affair when the initial draw was made at the beginning of the season, Liverpool comfortably dispatched the reigning European champions, who failed to really lay a glove on Arne Slot's side.
And it appears as though Real Madrid are dealing with further issues even after the defeat at Anfield, after their team bus crashed into a lorry on the M40 motorway.

It is unclear yet as to whether anyone was hurt in the crash. However, it is another added headache for Real Madrid to deal with following on from their disappointing display at Anfield. It is likely the playing squad and staff flew back to Spain, with the bus then travelling separately,
Whilst they were without a number of key players, including Vinicius Junior, Eder Militao, Dani Carvajal, Rodrygo and Aurelien Tchouameni, the Spanish side looked by far and away a worse team than Liverpool, even with the likes of Kylian Mbappe leading their attack.
The Frenchman had a night to forget on Merseyside with Conor Bradley producing an excellent performance to keep Mbappe quiet. The Real Madrid forward did have an opportunity to equalise for Ancelotti's side, but saw his penalty saved by Caoimhin Kelleher.
Liverpool.com says: "We hope that no one was injured in the crash. You have to imagine that really isn't what Real Madrid needed following a 2-0 defeat in Europe, a result which leaves them in real danger of not qualifying in the top eight of the Champions League's new format."
