Italian football club, Napoli snatched a narrow 1-0 win over English side Liverpool on Wednesday’s Champions League match.
Winning meant that the team celebrated into the early hours of Thursday, unknowing to them the night wasn’t going to end excitingly for one of their players who got robbed on his way back home.
24-year-old striker, Arkadiusz Milik, was driving towards his home at Varcaturo on the Domitian Coast 20km west of Naples at around 2 am when his car was stopped by a motorcycle blocking the road. Suddenly, the riders whose faces were entirely covered by helmets to avoid revealing their identity approached the footballer’s car robbing him at gunpoint.
The criminals, pointing a gun at Milik, ordered him to hand over his Rolex Daytona watch worth 7,000 euros (3million in naira). The robbers then left the scene on their motorbike, with the striker unharmed in the incident.
Milik who was still surprised at the whole incident later drove down to the police station to report the crime.
The police have since begun an investigation into the incident.
