Spanish newspaper El Pais has reported that there was a terrifying attack on the home of Barcelona striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on Monday morning.
According to the report the Gabonese were physically assaulted during an armed robbery.
At least four men are reported to have entered the garden of Aubameyang’s home in the Castelldefels area of the Catalan capital, armed with firearms and iron bars.
Aubameyang was threatened with the weapons before being beaten, with the men also intimidating the footballer’s wife to ensure they gained access to a safe inside the property.
The men are said to have taken multiple valuable items from the safe, including pieces of jewellery, before fleeing in a white Audi A3.
The details are outlined by a report in Spanish newspaper El Pais, which claims that the incident took place at 1 am on Monday morning with Aubameyang and his wife submitting statements to local police, who are now trying to identify and find the robbers.
This is coming 11 days after Aubameyang’s teammate Robert Lewandowski was robbed on his way to training.
According to Barca Universal, Aubameyang and his wife refused to go to the hospital after the attack in order not to scare their children.
Meanwhile, Barcelona are reported to be preparing psychologists to talk to the kids.
