David Neres' Saturday evening could hardly have gone better originally, two goals in stoppage time gave his SSC Napoli a late 2:1 victory over Parma. The good mood did not last long, however, as the striker was attacked by a motorcycle gang on his way home.

Neres, who had only moved to Naples just under two weeks ago, was on his way to the "Parkers Hotel" with his girlfriend, the German model Kira Winona, when the window of his car was smashed.

The robbers demanded the Brazilian's watch, worth 100,000 euros, according to the German newspaper "Bild". Neves immediately complied with the demand before the robbers fled on their motorcycles. 

Apology on Instagram
Fans who had hoped for autographs and selfies with the striker at the hotel were disappointed when he arrived. That same night, Winona explained the reason for the kicker's bad mood on Instagram: "David would like to apologize to the fans who were waiting for him outside, but after the game we were the victims of an armed robbery."

Neres had previously been substituted in the 69th minute against Parma. Napoli were 1-0 down at the time, but goals from new signing Romelu Lukaku (90+2) and Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa (90+6) gave the home side the win.
