Robert Sánchez’s Ferrari crash in Alemania while Como’s Nico Paz watches

Spanish goalkeeper Robert Sánchez, a teammate of Nico Paz at Como, crashed his Ferrari 488 Evo on the Nordschleife circuit of the Nürburgring in Alemania on Monday, hitting a side barrier at an estimated 112 kilometres per hour. The €350,000 car was completely destroyed, but Sánchez emerged unscathed.

Olé reported that the front of the vehicle was totally wrecked. A witness said Sánchez got out immediately, began gathering the broken pieces and showed no sign of shock.

Como have not issued any comment on the incident. The crash came during the FIFA international window, and Sánchez was not selected for España.

Club response and upcoming fixtures

Because of the FIFA break, Sánchez and his teammate Paz, who is with the Argentine national team, will have to wait an extra week before training resumes. Their next match is scheduled for Saturday 22 November at 11.00 Argentine time against Cagliari in Serie A round twelve.

Sánchez arrived at Como in the last transfer window after leaving Chelsea. He is battling Frenchman Jean Butez for the starting spot and has featured in only four games, conceding seven goals.
