Luxury cars are a custom in the life of footballers. What's more, the vast majority do not have just one, but they own an immense collection that generates the envy of all. And the same day that Carlos Tevez returned to Boca Juniors training with an impressive Rolls-Royce Wraith, the news was known that Thibaut Courtois, Real Madrid goalkeeper, the same car model played a trick on him.

It was in practice on Sunday that Courtois appeared at the Merengue club grounds in Valdebebas, Madrid. La Girafa, as he is known in the Spanish capital, arrived at 10:30 to practice on top of his new car. The players fulfilled their preparatory work for the match that was played this Monday in which they drew 1 to 1 at home against Real Sociedad, and they remain second in the Spanish League table, five points behind their rival in the capital, Atlético de Madrid from Cholo Simeone.

The Belgian got into his car and wanted to return to his house. However, sometimes, the expensive is not the best. His teammates began to withdraw from the training ground. But there was one who could not get out and that was Courtois, whose car did not start... After a while, the journalists and fans who came to take a photo or autograph of their idols were surprised to see a tow truck that entered. After twenty minutes, the trailer took away the car of the Belgian national team goalkeeper, with whom he transcended in the last World Cup in Russia 2018 where they were third.

The car in question is a Rolls Royce Wraith, it is one of the most luxurious vehicles in the world, valued at 340,000 euros and is a rival to models such as the Bentley Continental GT or the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso. Its 6.6-liter V12 engine produces about 632 horsepower. Its acceleration is from 0 to 100 km / h in just 4.5 seconds, although the maximum speed is electronically limited to 250 km / h. It also has huge 21-inch wheels. Inside, the ceiling has hundreds of small LED lights that simulate a starry sky.
