It turns out he's not invincible after all...

As you've no doubt already read, Cristiano Ronaldo had a lucky escape when he managed drive his Ferrari into a tunnel underneath Manchester Airport this week. Luckily (we mean that) the tricky winger emerged from the wreckage completely unscathed. The same can't be said for his car however, as he managed to completely destroy the entire front-end of his vehicle, and send one of his wheels flying off the car. Which is a shame in any situation, but particularly when your car happens to be a Ferrari 599 GTB, worth around £200k

Onlookers said that Ronaldo smashed the front of his car straight into a barrier as he was on his way to training. Luckily for him, team-mate Edwin van der Sar was following just behind and took him in to training. His car looks to be getting a one-way trip to the scrapyard though.

The authorities are still trying to find out the reason for the accident. Maybe he was still depressed about losing to Derby? Who cares. All we know is that it's already led to one crap joke that's bound to find it's way into your text message inbox any time soon...
