Atletico Madrid Midfielder Koke Reportedly Has €70K Watch Stolen at Gunpoint

Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke was reportedly robbed at gunpoint in an underground car park in the Spanish capital on Thursday, with the assailant making off with his €70,000 watch.

El Mundo (h/t AS) reported the incident took place around 7 p.m. local time. It's stated in the piece that the robber held a firearm to the player's head and said "give me your watch." After Koke obliged, it's reported that the thief departed on a motorcycle.

Koke has reportedly notified the local authorities of the incident.

It occurred less than two days before one of Atletico's biggest games of the season, as they make the short trip across the capital city to face rivals Real Madrid on Saturday. Koke has been included in the club's squad for the La Liga showdown, the club confirmed on the eve of the match.

The 25-year-old will be hoping to continue Atletico's fine recent form, as they've won their last five in a row in La Liga. Koke remains a crucial part of Diego Simeone's team, with four goals and six assists in La Liga in 2016-17.
