The team bus branded with Real Madrid insignia was reportedly involved in a collision on the M40 motorway on Thursday, a day after the team’s defeat against Liverpool in the Champions League.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side fell 2-0 to a dominant Liverpool team on Wednesday night, with goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo securing the victory for the English side.
The loss leaves Madrid trailing in the group standings, while Liverpool remains at the top.
The accident footage, which circulated online, shows the coach having crashed into the back of a lorry.
The same vehicle had been seen transporting Madrid players and staff to the match on Wednesday.
At this time, it is unclear whether any players or staff were on board during the crash or if there were any injuries.
It is common practice for team coaches to be driven back to their base after matches, even if the team flies home separately, which might explain the circumstances surrounding the incident.
The vehicle in question is decorated with Real Madrid’s emblem and lists the club’s major achievements, including 13 Supercopas de España and 20 Copas del Rey.
An investigation into the crash is yet to confirm further details.
Speaking after the defeat by Liverpool, manager Ancelotti said: “To be totally honest, it’s a fair result. Liverpool deserved to win. They have a real good dynamic at the moment and are in great form. They were really switched on, connected, playing with high intensity.
“We did okay in the first half, we held them and set up quite well and defended well as a unit. In transitions we were okay. But then we lost the ball and once we gained the ball we made the wrong decision going forward.”
He added: “We fought right up until the point of the penalty. If we could have evened it up, we had competed well up to that point. But we have to keep going.”
