Newly released footage has revealed the dramatic aftermath of Tottenham Hotspur forward Randal Kolo Muani's high-value Ferrari crash on Tuesday, which saw his £400,000 vehicle stranded on the M25 motorway. The 27-year-old striker suffered a front right tyre blowout while driving to Stansted Airport to join his teammates for their Champions League trip to face Eintracht Frankfurt.
Motorway Incident Causes Travel Delays
The video evidence shows Kolo Muani's black Ferrari Purosangue - Ferrari's first SUV model - beached between lanes on the busy motorway, with the detached tyre blocking one lane and causing significant traffic disruption. An eyewitness described the scene to SWNS, recalling: "They came past at quite a speed. A minute later I had to dodge out the way of the tyre as it was the middle of the road."
The witness added: "It was a Ferrari in the middle lane all smashed up. I didn't have to swerve harshly but the tyre was still there so had to dodge it. I thought it was a really nice car."
Teammate Assistance and Match Participation
Despite being stranded following the incident, Kolo Muani received assistance from fellow Tottenham player Wilson Odobert, who had been travelling behind him in Hertfordshire. Remarkably, both players still managed to start for Thomas Frank's side in Wednesday night's Champions League fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt, despite their travel plans being significantly delayed.
Kolo Muani demonstrated particular resilience, scoring the opening goal in Tottenham's 2-0 victory over the German side. Spurs manager Thomas Frank confirmed both players emerged unharmed from the accident, stating: "Both are fine. Unfortunately, they were both involved in a minor accident. Everyone else involved in that accident was fine. It was a tyre blowing up and so the two of them are a little bit delayed."
Luxury Vehicle Specifications
The Ferrari Purosangue involved in the incident represents a significant automotive investment, with a base price of approximately £313,000 that frequently exceeds £400,000 when optional extras are included. The luxury SUV boasts impressive performance credentials:
- Powered by a 6.5-litre V12 engine producing 725 horsepower
- Accelerates from 0-62mph in just 3.3 seconds
- Has a top speed of 192mph
Injury Concerns for Tottenham Squad
The incident comes at a challenging time for Tottenham, with manager Thomas Frank facing significant squad availability issues. Counting Kolo Muani and Odobert, Frank had only eleven senior outfield players available for the Frankfurt match.
The injury situation has worsened with Pedro Porro ruled out for four weeks with a hamstring injury sustained during Saturday's match against Burnley. Meanwhile, defender Micky van de Ven did not travel to Frankfurt, though Frank described his absence as "a minor issue" and "not a hamstring" problem, suggesting the Dutch centre-back remains "a big possibility" for Sunday's Premier League clash against Manchester City.
Frank acknowledged the squad challenges, stating: "It definitely does not help any of us. Of course, we prefer to have the best players out there on the pitch. Any coach and teammate wants that, but we also have a squad and need other players to step up as they've done and perform."
Champions League Context
Tottenham's victory in Frankfurt carries particular significance despite their already guaranteed qualification for the knockout stages. A win would secure a top-eight finish in the competition and provide a valuable bye into the last sixteen, offering crucial advantages as the tournament progresses.
The incident highlights the extraordinary pressures and logistical challenges facing modern footballers, whose professional commitments frequently involve complex international travel arrangements alongside their on-pitch responsibilities.
