Robert Sanchez walks away from scary Ferrari crash at Nurburgring
Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez has escaped unhurt after a frightening crash while driving a £300,000 Ferrari 488 Challenge Evo during a motorsport event.
The Sun reports that Sanchez "cheats death" after ploughing the supercar into a barrier during a circuit event, with the Spaniard walking away despite the car being left badly damaged (The Sun). The Mirror adds more detail on location, saying the crash happened at the famous Nurburgring circuit in Germany, describing it as a "terrifying high-speed crash" in which the Chelsea stopper lost control of the vehicle (Mirror).
Football.London corroborates the key details, confirming a Chelsea player was involved in a high-speed smash on an "iconic motorsport track" that left his £300,000 car destroyed (Football.London). All three outlets are in agreement on the essentials: Sanchez was behind the wheel of a Ferrari 488 Challenge Evo worth around £300,000, the crash happened at speed during a motorsport circuit event, and he came away from the wreck unharmed.
There are no differing accounts between the reports - The Sun, the Mirror and Football.London all tell the same story of a dramatic but ultimately non-serious incident away from the pitch. For Chelsea supporters, the relief will simply be that their goalkeeper is safe and uninjured, with no suggestion from any of the reports that this will affect his availability for the club.
Attention for Chelsea now turns back to action on the pitch, with the Women's team preparing to host Manchester City at Kingsmeadow-adjacent fixtures this weekend, though this crash news concerns the men's goalkeeper Sanchez rather than the Women's squad.
