A Multi-Million Euro Supercar Turns itself into a Robot and Crashes in Monaco
Not the first time that there has been a multi-million euro near-miss involving Bentleys, Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Mercedes in Monte-Carlo. It’s a recipe that is awaiting the most expensive “prang” of all-time.
This time it was a 3 million plus euro “LaFerrari”… a type of hybrid conversion from the Prancing Horse. And the famous Avenue Spélugues near Casino Square saw a private/valet chauffeur arrive with the super-car in time for the owner to witness his bolide careering into two scooters parked nearby one straddled by its pilot. And a spectacular escape from a pedestrian who was luckily unhurt.
Who are the three former AS Monaco Stars in the Running for the Ballon d’Or (Golden Ball)??
The 2022 Ballon d’Or will be the 66th annual ceremony of the Ballon d’Or (Golden Ball), recognising the best footballers in the world in the 2021–22 season. After an excellent season with Liverpool, the former AS Monaco midfielder (2013-2018) is part of the list of 30 nominated for the Ballon d’Or. A big first for him.
This is one more recognition in Fabinho’s career. The former Monegasque favourite (233 games played wearing the Diagonal) is indeed, for the first time in his career, in the 30 nominated for the Ballon d’Or. A great reward for him since he has been part of Liverpool’s best since his arrival in 2018. Again last season, he proved to be a key player in Jürgen Klopp’s squad by playing 48 games for 8 goals and 1 decisive pass.
