MADRID — Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski nearly had his €70,000 watch stolen outside the club’s training ground Ciutat Esportiva on Thursday, Spanish newspaper Marca reported.
The 33-year-old Polish international was on his way to evening training when a person opened the passenger door of a car and took the watch as Lewandowski was greeting fans.
Police quickly arrested a suspect and Lewandowski got his watch back before participating in the practice session ahead of Sunday’s LaLiga game at Real Sociedad.
Lewandowski joined Barca for about €45 million last month from Bayern Munich after helping the German side win many trophies including eight Bundesliga titles and the Champions League.
