Cristiano Ronaldo's £100,000 Ferrari is now worth slightly less than it was this morning.
Driving in a tunnel under Manchester Airport, Ronaldo's super car came off worse in a collision with a wall. He was unhurt and is currently being ribbed to within an inch of life at a United training session.
After getting out of the wreckage, Ronnie gave a negative breath test and an investigation in under way. It's not clear how Ronaldo got to Carrington without the car, though the image of him sheepishly waiting for a bus with his Louis Vuitton man bag under his arm is just too delicious for words

Poor car.
Who?
Manchester United soccer player?
Soccer player
“”Anyway he was all right, he was walking,” added the witness, confirming that Ronaldo is the only man in Manchester who walks away from massive car smash but spends five minutes writhing in agony if someone pulls his socks down. “
LoL
btw - what’s a man bag?
Don’t know who he is, but he wrecked a nice car.
I suspect he is a Quidditch player. That’s what all the brits play, or so I’ve heard.
Soccer = landscaping with defense
Something british men use to carry their testicles, I thnk.
I am really getting out of the celebrity loop. Who is Cristiano Ronaldo?
Obviously written by a Liverpool fan although Ronaldo is talented in drawing fouls on the opposition.
brazilian soccer player, richest latino athlete in the world according to SI.
An expensive purse for men ?
Wreck a nice car - Go to jail!
I believe he was voted the soccer/football world player of the year the last two years, it would be equivalent to Labron James here having that crash.
A friend of mine is a Maserati and Ferrari mechanic and he informed me many of these high-end sports cars can be quite a handful as far as driving under everyday street conditions. The power to weight ratio is high and many non-professionals cannot handle the power in conjunction with the clutch and shifting at the same time (too many were raised on automatics or econoboxes).
You don’t have to be that dimwit comedian Eddie whathisname to run a Ferrari into a Jersey block.
My friend said there are driving schools for Ferrari and Ford GT owners and too few take advantage of them. I found the same to be true of Land Rover (Range Rover, Discovery, LR3, etc.) owners. Too many think they’re invincible in their SUV and then drive themselves into conditions they cannot handle.
I’ve been to many a Porsche driving school. Driving on the edge is the point.
