Its goal has remained inviolate.

Not his apartment in Neuilly-sur-Seine (Hauts-de-Seine).

Sergio Rico, the substitute goalkeeper of PSG, was robbed on Friday evening.

The thugs got their hands on 25,000 euros in cash.

They also scooped up luxury watches and jewelry of a value that has yet to be estimated.

The investigators of the departmental service of the judicial police of 92 were seized of the case to find the burglars.

It's 2:20 a.m. when the 27-year-old Spanish player returns home.

He just had a great evening.

His team won 4-0 at the Parc des Princes against Montpellier.

At half-time of the match, the titular goalkeeper Jesus Navas gives way, victim, it seems, of a pain in the ribs.

Sergio Rico puts on his gloves as of the restart.

On the rare balls he has to negotiate, the substitute goalkeeper is reassuring.

In short, from a football point of view, it's a great evening.

A 230 square meter duplex

Back home around 2:20 am, Sergio Rico is disillusioned.

The bay window of his apartment - a 230 square meter duplex located in a chic residence in western Paris - was forced open.

He immediately calls the police.

He tells investigators that he left his home in the morning around 11 a.m.

Not much more information on the circumstances of the break-in.

Forensic technicians went to the site.

They took a maximum of samples to try to collect clues.

This is far from the first time that players from the champion club of France have been targeted by burglars on the evenings they play in meetings.

Last September, two men aged 25 and 29 were taken into custody for the burglary in February 2019 in Neuilly-sur-Seine (Hauts-de-Seine) of the mansion of Daniel Alves, the former -Brazilian side-back of PSG.

The two suspects, known for similar cases, had been extracted from the Nanterre prison.

They had been confused by the same service seized for Sergio Rico's burglary.

A long list of precedents

Just a year ago, in the Yvelines, the home of Marquinhos, now captain of PSG, was the subject of a burglary attempt while the player faced Monaco at the Parc des Princes.

It is a security guard, responsible for monitoring the property, who alerted the police around 9 p.m. after seeing four hooded individuals in the garden.

The visitors had fled.
