PSG Champions League hero has house burgled just hours after lifting trophy - as police arrest two suspects after catching them 'red-handed'
A Paris-Saint Germain star had his house broken into as he celebrated winning the Champions League at the weekend.
PSG won Europe's premier competition for the first time on Saturday night as they dismantled Inter Milan in Munich, winning 5-0 to lift the trophy and trigger scenes of rife celebration inside the Allianz Arena.
A number of stars received praise in the fallout of the game, but Luis Enrique's midfield trio was largely lauded as the best in the competition throughout the campaign.
It was a midfield that featured former Wolves star Vitinha, as well as Joao Neves. The third man in the dynamic trio was Fabian Ruiz, who joined the club from Napoli in 2022.
Ruiz played a key role in his side's success, but had his home in Paris ransacked by burglars in the aftermath of his achievement in a different country.
The 29-year-old had returned to Paris with the squad to embark on a celebration parade on the streets of Paris on Sunday, but, just a day later, his home was broken into before two arrests were made.
The alarm system in Ruiz's house alerted police, who raced to the scene and arrested two suspects while they were still at the property.
A police source told Le Parisien: 'We found the player's home in total disorder.
'The two minors had rummaged through every room before we caught them red-handed.'
The incident came amid unrest in the French capital following PSG's success in Europe on Saturday night.
A teenager was stabbed to death and 426 people were arrested during intense nationwide violence.
Police reported riots and looting as the club beat Inter Milan in Munich, Germany, in the final of the Champions League on Saturday night.
One of the worst incidents took place in Dax, in the south-west of France, where a 17-year-old was knifed in the stomach.
Ruiz, meanwhile, is not the first PSG player to have suffered a break-in during his time at the club. Defender Willian Pancho had his house burgled in March when he was on international duty with Ecuador, and Angel Di Maria suffered the same fate in 2021 while a PSG player.

'We need to win early': Russell Martin sets out plan for Rangers
Rangers' new head coach Russell Martin accepts his side will have to deliver results early in his time in charge, even as he looks to impose his style of play on a revamped squad. Martin was appointed on a three-year deal as the Ibrox club unveiled the permanent successor to Philippe Clement, and the first head coach under the new regime at Rangers following the American consortium's takeover. The former MK Dons, Swansea and Southampton manager has been tasked with turning around the team's fortunes and delivering domestic success as well as progress in Europe. In what's going to be a busy summer, the new head coach will be trying to communicate his ideas to the players, as well as welcoming new faces, with his first competitive game in charge being a crucial Champions League qualifier on July 22/23. Martin says the team needs to be delivering results from the start even as he works to improve. And with his own appointment being met with negativity from some of the Rangers support, he says winning from the start will help bring everyone together. 'I can't wait to get time on the training pitch on the players, but in terms of that, we need to win early and we need to find a way to win whilst we are developing,' Martin said. 'I think it's really important. We had to do that at Southampton and we had to win in amongst a lot of change. 'Winning helps you convince people: players, staff, supporters. 'So I can't say it'll take two years to build something, it's not like why we're here. 'I want us to keep improving and developing. The end product might not click completely overnight but we have to find a way of winning while building that and developing that. 'It's a challenge we accepted at the Saints and we will do that here as well.' Addressing the scepticism and lack of enthusiasm about his appointment from some fans, Martin was confident he could win them around. 'I have to be,' he said. 'I have a lot to prove but I have done my whole career. 'My whole career has been based on proving people wrong, really. 'At every level, I got questioned. I got to the Premier League as a player and I wasn't convinced I could do it but managed to establish myself there and played four or five seasons. Played international football and I'm incredibly proud of that. 'It's the same as a manager and I've had to prove people wrong at every opportunity. 'There's always some names in football management that are more exciting than others, of course. 'But I feel after five-and-a-half years of being a manager, a coach and a leader in that environment, I love doing it. And I'm going to be all-in here with my energy and love for it and passion. 'Hopefully that will be reflected on the pitch and people will see that and at some point enjoy it. Ultimately I just want to win and if we're winning, they will be happy.' Asked if he could put together a title-winning team this summer, the new head coach refused to make promises but believes he can deliver real improvement. He said: 'I think we're confident we can have a team that's better, gets more points, wins more games and really competes to win trophies.' But his ultimate aim is clear and he says the focus will be on his side, how they play, and what they want to achieve. 'It's to win trophies,' Martin said. 'It's to build a culture that we are proud, that we can feel, and the ownership feel when they come into the building. 'An environment of hard work, honesty and openness inside and outside of the building and to see a team that doesn't look different every week and is always trying to improve and develop in our own way and not focused on the opposition too much, or what other people are doing. 'We're going to do it in our way and we'll all be on the same page.' The 39-year-old shared his delight at being appointed as head coach, having come out on top after a long recruitment process that had seen former Real Madrid coach Davide Ancelotti under serious consideration, and other names including former Rangers manager Steven Gerrard in the frame. 'It's an incredible feeling,' Martin said. 'Firstly, I'm really grateful to everyone for their trust and faith in me. 'It's been a really tough and rigorous process. It's taken some time, but that's what you expect when you want to be a manager of this football club, to put the club of this stature in size and expectation. 'So I'm delighted it's ended up with me being in this chair, and I'm extremely grateful for that as well. And now I'm just desperate to get started and excited about what's to come and what we can really get building here.' Martin revealed that he had received other offers and opportunities since leaving Southampton last year but that the Rangers job had an appeal that other positions didn't. And he admitted that after a disappointing short loan spell as a player at Ibrox, he felt he had unfinished business in Glasgow. 'When this one was first suggested, and even with a couple of other opportunities on the horizon in this last few weeks, this was the one I really wanted,' he explained. 'One, because of the expectation and the size of it, what it means to so many people, the opportunity to come here and experience something completely different to anything in football, I think, really. 'That's what I felt when I played here for a really short period. That also comes into my mind, probably when I look back on my career as a player. 'It's the one thing that hurt me a lot was that it didn't go very well here, because I wasn't quite in the right place physically to do as well as I possibly could, and it was a difficult time for the club. 'So also that comes into the equation as well, I have to be really honest. 'I'm desperate to show a different version of myself here than I did previously. 'And just everything, the fresh start, how these guys have been in the process, the owners, it's just really exciting, the whole thing.'

How could winter fuel payments change after government U-turn?
In a latest U-turn after months of backlash, Sir Keir Starmer 's government has announced that more pensioners will receive the winter fuel allowance this winter. Rachel Reeves confirmed a change on the controversial cuts would be in place in time for this winter, but said the government would not set out details of exactly how the payment will be restored until the autumn Budget. There remains confusion over who will be affected by the changes, when they will be introduced and what they will entail, but pensions minister Torsten Bell has said that the payment would not be reinstated for everyone. What was the winter fuel payment cut? The winter fuel payment is a state benefit previously given to all pensioners to help with energy costs during the coldest months of the year. The decision to means-test the previously universal payment was one of the first announcements by Rachel Reeves when she became chancellor after Labour's landslide election victory last year, and it has been widely blamed for the party's collapse in support. The government has insisted the policy was necessary to help stabilise the public finances, and meant that the payment would only go to those on low incomes who received specified benefits such as pension credit. This meant the number of pensioners receiving the payment was reduced by around 10 million, from 11.4 million to 1.5 million. Several charities, MPs and unions criticised the decision, with several blaming it for the party's disappointing local election results. In November, it was revealed that the government's own figures indicated it would force 100,000 pensioners into poverty in 2026. How was the payment linked to pension credit? Only those who claim pension credit were able to receive the winter fuel payment in winter 2024. Those who are above state pension age and have an income of less than £218.15 a week, or less than £332.95 as a joint weekly income with your partner, are eligible for pension credit. However, despite the government's campaigns and an increase in claims after the July 2024 announcement, it is estimated that half a million eligible people fail to claim the benefit. How could the new system work? Speaking to the work and pensions committee, Mr Bell said: 'Directly on your question of is there any prospect of a universal winter fuel payment, the answer is no, the principle I think most people, 95 per cent of people, agree, that it's not a good idea that we have a system paying a few hundreds of pounds to millionaires, and so we're not going to be continuing with that. 'But we will be looking at making more pensioners eligible.' According to The Times, the threshold could be based on the average level of real household disposable income - currently around £37,000. Reports have also said that payments could be restored to all pensioners, before requiring better-off claimants to pay it back through tax bills over the course of the next financial year. The plans would resemble George Osborne's high income child benefit charge, which sees 1 per cent of total child benefit received taxed for every £100 earned over £60,000. It means that, over whatever threshold Ms Reeves sets for the payments, an amount will be clawed back from those on higher incomes. It would mean only those in the bottom half of average incomes will keep the payments, with the top half of earners forced to repay the grant through higher tax bills over the course of the year. The plans could cost around £700 million, with the chancellor vowing to set out her plans to pay for the change at her autumn Budget. Critics said it would be an 'administrative nightmare', however.

New German leader plans to discuss Ukraine and trade with Trump in Oval Office visit
Germany's new leader is meeting President Donald Trump in Washington on Thursday as he works to keep the U.S. on board with Western support for Ukraine, help defuse trade tensions that pose a risk to Europe's biggest economy and further bolster his country's long-criticized military spending. Trump and Chancellor Friedrich Merz have spoken several times by phone, either bilaterally or with other European leaders, since Merz took office on May 6. German officials say the two leaders have started to build a 'decent' relationship, with Merz wanting to avoid the antagonism that defined Trump's relationship with one of his predecessors, Angela Merkel, in the Republican president's first term. The 69-year-old Merz is a conservative former rival of Merkel's who took over her party after she retired from politics. Merz also comes to office with an extensive business background — something that could align him with Trump. A White House official said topics that Trump is likely to raise with Merz include Germany's defense spending, trade, Ukraine and what the official called 'democratic backsliding," saying the administration's view is that shared values such as freedom of speech have deteriorated in Germany and the country should reverse course. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to preview the discussions. Merz will want to avoid an Oval Office showdown of the kind that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa experienced in recent months. Asked about the risk of a White House blow-up, Merz spokesperson Stefan Kornelius said on Monday that the chancellor is 'well-prepared' for the meeting and that he and Trump have 'built up a decent relationship, at least by phone" and via text messaging. Keeping Ukraine's Western backers together Merz has thrown himself into diplomacy on Ukraine, traveling to Kyiv with fellow European leaders days after taking office and receiving Zelenskyy in Berlin last week. He has thanked Trump for his support for an unconditional ceasefire while rejecting the idea of 'dictated peace' or the 'subjugation' of Ukraine and advocating for more sanctions against Russia. The White House official said Trump on Thursday will stress that direct peace talks must continue. In their first phone call since Merz became chancellor, Trump said he would support the efforts of Germany and other European countries to achieve peace, according to a readout from the German government. Merz also said last month that 'it is of paramount importance that the political West not let itself be divided, so I will continue to make every effort to produce the greatest possible unity between the European and American partners.' Under Merz's immediate predecessor, Olaf Scholz, Germany became the second-biggest supplier of military aid to Ukraine after the United States. Merz has vowed to keep up the support and last week pledged to help Ukraine develop its own long-range missile systems that would be free of any range limits. Military spending At home, Merz's government is intensifying a drive that Scholz started to bolster the German military after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. In Trump's first term, Berlin was a target of his ire for failing to meet the current NATO target of spending 2% of gross domestic product on defense, and Trump is now demanding at least 5% from allies. The White House official said the upcoming NATO summit in the Netherlands later this month is a 'good opportunity' for Germany to commit to meeting that 5% mark. Scholz set up a 100 billion euro ($115 billion) special fund to modernize Germany's armed forces — called the Bundeswehr — which had suffered from years of neglect. Germany has met the 2% target thanks to the fund, but it will be used up in 2027. Merz has said that 'the government will in the future provide all the financing the Bundeswehr needs to become the strongest conventional army in Europe.' He has endorsed a plan for all allies to aim to spend 3.5% of GDP on their defense budgets by 2032, plus an extra 1.5% on potentially defense-related things like infrastructure. Germany's economy and tariffs Another top priority for Merz is to get Germany's economy, Europe's biggest, moving again after it shrank the past two years. He wants to make it a 'locomotive of growth,' but Trump's tariff threats are a potential obstacle for a country whose exports have been a key strength. At present, the economy is forecast to stagnate in 2025. Germany exported $160 billion worth of goods to the U.S. last year, according to the Census Bureau. That was about $85 billion more than what the U.S. sent to Germany, a trade deficit that Trump wants to erase. The U.S. president has specifically gone after the German auto sector, which includes major brands such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Porsche and Volkswagen. Americans bought $36 billion worth of cars, trucks and auto parts from Germany last year, while the Germans purchased $10.2 billion worth of vehicles and parts from the U.S. Trump's 25% tariff on autos and parts is specifically designed to increase the cost of German-made automobiles in hopes of causing them to move their factories to the U.S., even though many of the companies already have plants in the U.S. with Volkswagen in Tennessee, BMW in South Carolina and Mercedes-Benz in Alabama and South Carolina. There's only so much Merz can achieve on his view that tariffs 'benefit no one and damage everyone' while in Washington, as trade negotiations are a matter for the European Union's executive commission. Trump recently delayed a planned 50% tariff on goods coming from the European Union, which would have otherwise gone into effect this month. Far-right tensions One source of strain in recent months is a speech Vice President JD Vance gave in Munich shortly before Germany's election in February, in which he lectured European leaders about the state of democracy on the continent and said there is no place for 'firewalls.' That term is frequently used to describe mainstream German parties' refusal to work with the far-right Alternative for Germany, which finished second in the election and is now the biggest opposition party. Merz criticized the comments. He told ARD television last month that it isn't the place of a U.S. vice president 'to say something like that to us in Germany; I wouldn't do it in America, either.' ___ Moulson reported from Berlin. Associated Press writer Josh Boak in Washington contributed to this report.
