The wife of PSV Eindhoven and Israel footballer Eran Zahavi has said she was the victim of a “horrifying experience” after two robbers, one of them armed, tied up and gagged her and her children at the couple’s home in Amsterdam.

“Yesterday, my family and I went through a horrifying experience of robbery and attack in the place that is supposed to be the safest in the world for us – our home,” Shay Zahavi said in a message posted on Instagram.
