Everybody in America ooohs and aaaahs at the cars that athletes in the NBA, NFL, and NBA drive. They see the Ferraris and the Lamborghinis and get excited, thinking that these are the cream of the crop.
Although those might be pretty rare to see stateside, they’re really not a huge ordeal in Europe. And guess where the majority of the football players are?
If you’re unaware, footballers overseas make far more money than the soccer players in the US, allowing them to drive more exclusive cars and hold collections like the guys in the major leagues here.
That means plenty of Mercedes-Benz SLRs, Maseratis MC Stradales, and an Overfinch Range Rover. Check out these 14 Soccer Players and Their Cars.
