Sergio Ramos’ four children were the victims of a frightening attack on their home when the defender was playing for Sevilla in the Champions League.
Ramos’ four children and two nannies were at home when intruders broke into the Spanish defender’s home on Seville’s outskirts.
The robbers trashed the residence after circumventing the security system, seizing costly watches, jewellery, designer apparel, and cash, according to Mundo Deportivo. While the break-in frightened the children and carers, no one was hurt. The Civil Guard of Spain is investigating the incident, but no arrests have been made thus yet.
The footballer was playing in Sevilla’s 1-1 draw against Lens at the time of the break-in while his wife, television reporter Pilar Rubio, was also away on business.
Ramos returned to Sevilla this summer, 18 years after leaving his boyhood club to join Real Madrid and after reportedly turning down the chance to move to Manchester United. The centre-back won four Champions Leagues and five La Liga titles in 16 years with Real before leaving to join Paris Saint-Germain, where he won back-to-back Ligue 1 crowns.
His property boasts 43 hectares and is the site of his stables as well as his prize-winning horse, Yucatan de Ramos.
Ramos’ home in Madrid was also broken into in 2012 while the player and his brother and agent were in, leading to the burglars scarpering without taking anything.
