News of the surreal coming out of Paris, as the Chelsea team bus apparently managed to have an accident just as it was descending into the parking garage at Parc des Princes about 1.5 hours before tonight's kick-off.

Further tweets from La Parisien confirm that at least one of windows broke ("exploded," if you want to get dramatic) but there are no injuries and everybody got off the bus safely via some sort of a ramp.

I guess we're just as bad as PSG at parking the bus?
UPDATE: On second attempt, the bus has entered the parking garage safely and successfully. Hurray!
Le bus teente une nouvelle fois de rejoindre le parking.
