New Barcelona ace victim of brazen robbery

Robert Lewandowski's €70,000 watch was stolen when he stopped to pose for photos with fans

Polish marksman Robert Lewandowski was the victim of a robbery outside outside Barcelona's training ground on Wednesday, as the big-money import from Bayern Munich had his watch stolen after stopping to pose for photographs with fans.

Lewandowski, 34, moved to the Catalan giants in a €45 million ($45.2 million) deal from German powerhouses Bayern Munich this summer, but life in Catalonia has got off to a troubling start following the run-in with the thief.

Per reports, Lewandowski stopped his car after exiting the club's Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gampe training center on Wednesday - only for the thief to open the player's passenger door and swipe the expensive watch, which is thought to be valued at €70,000.
