Chelsea goalkeeper's Ferrari heavily damaged after Nürburgring crash

Robert Sánchez, the 28‑year‑old Spanish goalkeeper of Chelsea, is currently on loan at Como and was driving on the Nürburgring during the international break. He lost control of his Ferrari 488 Challenge Evo, which crashed into a guardrail at over 110 km/h (around 70 mph).

Details of the accident

The car is a Ferrari 488 Challenge Evo, whose original list price was around €275 000. The accident occurred when a workshop employee was driving the vehicle; the driver remained unharmed.

The Spanish goalkeeper was present at the event but only drove after the crash. FC Chelsea confirmed to the Sun that the accident took place, but emphasized that Sánchez was not in the car.

Whether the vehicle can be repaired is still unknown.

Sánchez has an extensive car collection, so he does not have to give up a vehicle entirely. However, he remains without the Ferrari 488 Challenge Evo for the time being.

The goalkeeper continues to be active on loan at Como, but has only made three appearances in Serie A out of a possible nine matches.
