Butter fingers Ramos drops cup under bus

REAL MADRID waited 18 years to win back the Copa del Rey trophy — only to drop the cup and watch it get crushed under the wheels of a bus.

Only hours after beating arch rivals Barcelona in the domestic cup final in Valencia, Madrid defender Sergio Ramos let the 33-pound cup fall from the top of the team bus during early morning celebrations in the capital. The front right wheel of the vehicle rolled over the trophy before the driver stopped.

Emergency services gathered up the broken pieces and returned them to officials, but the trophy did not reappear at the club’s traditional celebration spot at the Plaza de Cibeles in central Madrid.

Later, the Spain defender made light of the incident on Twitter. “The whole thing about the cup was a misunderstanding, it didn’t fall ... it jumped off when it reached Cibeles (the fountain in Madrid where the team celebrates its titles) and saw so many Madrid fans,” Ramos tweeted.
