“The feeling that we are no longer safe in our own home is hard to understand and describe, but as a family we will overcome this and stand stronger than ever.

“Thanks for all the support, it means the world to us.”

El Pais reported armed robbers broke into the house, threatened the player and his wife and forced them to open a safe and stole jewellery.

After the news broke Barcelona confirmed Aubameyang and his wife were OK.
