Barcelona’s Chilean striker Alexis Sanchez miraculously escaped unhurt after wrecking his Audi R8 in the early hours of Thursday.
Sanchez, who was driving back home after Barca’s penalty shootout win against Espanyol, lost control of his supercar and crashed it into the road divider barriers. It is not known how Sanchez lost control of the car.
Such was the impact of the crash that the Audi’s front got smashed, writing it off completely.
Sanchez managed to get out of the car, which he then abandoned on the road and later on went off to his house after a friend came and picked him up.
It is reported that leaving the scene of the crash could see Sanchez incur a penalty fee.
The damaged car is shown below:
