According to Spanish outlet Marca citing El Pais, some hooded men entered the house of FC Barcelona footballer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang this morning to rob him and attacked the footballer and some of his relatives.
It is added: “The robbery took place at the footballer’s home, in the municipality of Castelldefels around one in the morning, when the footballer and his relatives were at home. The assailants would have jumped through the garden and, once inside the house, they would have pointed weapons at the soccer player and they would have beaten him and threatened his wife.”
