- The star helped PSG to a dominant 5-0 victory over Inter Milan on Saturday
- He, though, had his house broken into two days later to dampen the celebrations
- Police said they caught ‘two minors’ in the act after alarms were sounded
A Paris-Saint Germain star had his house broken into as he celebrated winning the Champions League at the weekend.
PSG won Europe’s premier competition for the first time on Saturday night as they dismantled Inter Milan in Munich, winning 5-0 to lift the trophy and trigger scenes of rife celebration inside the Allianz Arena.
A number of stars received praise in the fallout of the game, but Luis Enrique’s midfield trio was largely lauded as the best in the competition throughout the campaign.
It was a midfield that featured former Wolves star Vitinha, as well as Joao Neves. The third man in the dynamic trio was Fabian Ruiz, who joined the club from Napoli in 2022.
Ruiz played a key role in his side’s success, but had his home in Paris ransacked by burglars in the aftermath of his achievement in a different country.
The 29-year-old had returned to Paris with the squad to embark on a celebration parade on the streets of Paris on Sunday, but, just a day later, his home was broken into before two arrests were made.

Police said they arrested ‘two minors’ after catching them ‘red handed’ at the scene
The alarm system in Ruiz’s house alerted police, who raced to the scene and arrested two suspects while they were still at the property.
A police source told Le Parisien: ‘We found the player’s home in total disorder.
‘The two minors had rummaged through every room before we caught them red-handed.’
The incident came amid unrest in the French capital following PSG’s success in Europe on Saturday night.
A teenager was stabbed to death and 426 people were arrested during intense nationwide violence.
Police reported riots and looting as the club beat Inter Milan in Munich, Germany, in the final of the Champions League on Saturday night.
One of the worst incidents took place in Dax, in the south-west of France, where a 17-year-old was knifed in the stomach.
Ruiz, meanwhile, is not the first PSG player to have suffered a break-in during his time at the club. Defender Willian Pancho had his house burgled in March when he was on international duty with Ecuador, and Angel Di Maria suffered the same fate in 2021 while a PSG player.
