Napoli striker Milik robbed at gunpoint after Liverpool win - report

The Polish player was driving through the Varcaturo district at around 2 am when the motorbike blocked the road and forced him to stop, the report said.

One of the men pointed a gun at Milik and made him hand over a Rolex watch. Naples police could not immediately be reached for comment.

Two years ago, Napoli forward Lorenzo Insigne, who scored the last-minute winner on Wednesday, and his wife were mugged in the city in similar circumstances. Media reports said the robbers told Insigne to "score a goal for us" in his next match.

Team captain Marek Hamsik was robbed in 2013 as was his wife two years before that.
