Lionel Messi's hotel robbed during his goal on Uefa Champion league

 The hotel where Lionel Messi is staying was broken into this week, but the kidnappers failed to reach the PSG player's apartments.

A few days ago, Lionel Messi appeared on the balcony of the Royal Monceau in the center of Paris, just to greet the fans who came to see where the Argentine prodigy had put his suitcases. If he will soon move to live in Neuilly-sur-Seine, the number 30 of PSG must be eager to leave the hotel on the outskirts of the Champs-Elysées after the information revealed by The Sun. Last week, a high-flying burglary took place, and four rooms were visited by masked thugs. The latter passed through the roofs, and the police could not identify them despite the surveillance cameras. The 5-star hotel has a fairly advanced security given the prestige of its guests, but the passage through the roofs of the criminals allowed them to access one of the balconies of the luxury rooms which was not closed. 

Four rooms visited on the upper floor

It is just above the floor where Lionel Messi remains that the burglary of 4 rooms took place, for a loot of several thousand euros. But the Messi family's apartments were not visited, although they were probably targeted. Indeed, the police noted that the facts occurred on Wednesday night, when the six-time Ballon d'Or scored a decisive goal for PSG against Manchester City. This kind of practice targeting footballers during their match, which usually ensures an empty room, is a fairly common process among burglars.  

The police made a first inventory after the misdeeds, and valuable jewelry was stolen, in addition to several thousand euros in cash. Police believe that only an experienced gang was able to carry out such an operation, especially since the Royal Monceau had strengthened its security with the arrival of Lionel Messi from Barcelona at the beginning of August. At 34, the new PSG player will in any case soon move with his wife and three children, and thus join the very popular town of Hauts-de-Seine, where several of his Paris SG teammates are already located.
