INTERNATIONAL: Due to the fuel crisis in the UK, Cristiano Ronaldo’s driver waited nearly seven hours to fill his $300,000 Bentley with petrol, but left without a drop. The supercar was spotted in a queue at a Shell forecourt a few miles from the Manchester United player’s home.

The driver pulled up at 2.20pm, hoping a tanker would arrive at the filling station with supplies. But having waited six hours and 40 minutes, he realised none was coming and drove away at 9pm. Someone who spotted the car told reporters, “Even with all Ronaldo’s money, he’s in the same boat as the rest of us.

His security waited for hours obviously hoping a tanker would eventually arrive but they were forced to drive off.”

The Portugal ace recently bought the flash Bentley Flying Spur to add to his $23 million stable of supercars. He has been seen driving it to United’s training ground during the past week.
