Football legend Michel Platini faced an unpleasant surprise, CE Report quotes ATA.
The French villa of the three-time Ballon d'Or winner in Cassis, in the south of the country, was robbed, resulting in the theft of numerous medals and trophies.
According to sources, the former number 10 of the French national team (72 matches for the national team between 1976 and 1987) heard noises early this morning in his garden in Cassis.
The 70-year-old former UEFA president then confronted a man wearing a black hood, who immediately fled with several sports awards, mainly trophies, cups, and medals.
Three-time Ballon d'Or winner (1983, 1984, 1985), ‘Platoche’ — as he is known in France — also made history by forming a championship-winning duo with Juventus in 1985.
With the French national team, which he also coached, Platini was European champion in 1984 and reached the World Cup semifinals twice (1982 and 1986).
