The joy of winning the Champions League almost turned into a nightmare for Fabian Ruiz. The Paris Saint-Germain midfielder was still celebrating his European triumph against Inter when two thieves broke into his home in western Paris.
According to Le Parisien , the thieves—both minors—managed to break into the front door and enter the footballer's home, ransacking everything in search of valuables. But their incursion was short-lived: the police, alerted in time, intervened, arresting the two while they were still inside the home.
The attempted burglary was thus foiled before the thieves could steal anything. It's unclear whether Fabian Ruiz or his family were present at the time of the break-in, but the incident has nonetheless rekindled concerns about the safety of PSG players, who have already been targeted several times. The latest incident was in March, when Willian Pacho's home was burgled during a national team match, and before that, the attack on Marquinhos' father. This time, Fabian got away with it: no harm was done, just a fright.
This situation is worrying because it shows how the safety of the players is put at risk. We hope that the police can do more to protect the players and their families from similar events.
