- Former Madrid man Angel Di Maria was substituted in the second half of PSG's 1-2 loss to Nantes because his home in Paris was robbed, RMC report.
- PSG's sporting director Leonardo had a chat with coach Mauricio Pochettino in the 62nd minute to relay the news and Poch subbed Di Maria off immediately.
- The pair were seen walking down the tunnel, but only Pochettino came back to watch the rest of the game, as Angel headed straight home.
- The robbery was initially described as 'violent' by RMC but Le Parisien later played down the incident and added that Di Maria's family members were in a different part of the house and didn't even hear anything.
- Di Maria was not the only one targeted during the game - Marquinhos' parents also had a break-in at roughly the same time.
- Sergio Rico, Thiago Silva and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting were also all victims of robberies in the last 18 months.
- Di Maria dealt with that kind of issue before, when playing for Manchester United in 2015.
