Robert Lewandoski robbed off watch worth 70,000 Euros
Barcelona forward Robert Lewandowski had a watch, reportedly worth 70,000 euros, wrested from his arm as he came for practice on Thursday, Spanish media said.
The watch was taken from him as he stopped at the entrance of the club’s practice facilities to sign autographs and take photos with fans, authorities told Spanish media. A man reportedly grabbed the watch as the striker who hails from Poland opened the window of his car to greet the fans. Lewandowski arrived a few weeks ago as the club’s biggest offseason signing.
Police said they later detained the suspect and recovered the watch. Spanish media said Lewandowski had initially tried to go after the suspect himself. The striker went on to train normally ahead of the team’s Spanish league match against Real Sociedad on Sunday. Barcelona opened with a disappointing 0-0 home draw against Rayo Vallecano.
Lewandowski joined Barca for about 45 million euros last month from Bayern Munich after helping the German side win many trophies which include eight Bundesliga Titles and The Champions League as well.
