Some fans of Real Madrid are undoubtedly less amused but this gave me a smile.

MADRID -- 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 archrival 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 celebrations early Thursday morning in the capital.

The front right wheel of the bus rolled over the trophy before the driver stopped.

A bit of a difference of opinion about the extent of the damage to the cup, isn't there? The club and Ramos himself (some defender!) minimize it. But then there is this: "It is not in good shape, evidently, it was run over by a bus," Madrid spokeswoman Marta Santisteban told The Associated Press. LOL
