    The other people in the house in the upmarket municipality of Boadilla del Monte west of Madrid’s city centre have not been named but are understood to be his long-term partner Sabrina Di Marzo, 28, and their daughters Lola, seven, Luz, two, and Lia who will be one next month.
    The drama occurred around 9pm last night, less than 48 hours after Correa had returned from Saudi Arabia with his team after they lost 5-3 to Real Madrid in a thrilling Spanish Super Cup semi-final.
    Fortunately no-one was injured.
    Civil Guard officers have already visited the property to assist the footballer and his family and search for any clues including fingerprints.

    No arrests are yet thought to have been made.
    Correa, said to be considering a huge £52 million contract over three years to play in Saudi Arabia, becomes the latest in a long list of LaLiga stars to fall victim to break-ins.
    In October former Manchester United and Chelsea striker Radamel Falcao was targeted.
    Several men broke into his property in an upmarket suburb of Madrid while he was enjoying dinner with his family at a nearby restaurant.

    The 37-year-old father-of-four, regarded as one of the greatest Colombian footballers of all time, had scored a last-gasp penalty earlier in the day to secure his current side Rayo Vallecano a valuable point at home against LaLiga rivals Mallorca.
    The intruders are said to have taken designer bags, watches and some jewellery before being surprised by an employee and fleeing.
    In June 2019 former Chelsea frontman Alvaro Morata’s wife Alice Campello was confronted by armed intruders while she was alone at their home north of Madrid with a nanny and twins Alessandro and Leonardo, then aged just one.
    They took valuables and family momentos.
    The Italian beauty admitted afterwards she would be “afraid for a long time to come.”
    She said in a social media message: “I think this is one of those things that are not easily forgotten, one of those things that makes you realize how much love and life is worth.
    “Knowing that you have your children at home and thinking they can touch them or do something to them is really an inexplicable emotion.
    “Fortunately we are all well and know it could have been much worse.
    “They have stolen so many memories but it’s over now.
    “Now I will try not to think about it and think about our family and try to forget.”
    Correa, whose Atletico contract runs until 2026, came off the bench to play half-an-hour at the Al-Awwal Park in Riyadh on Wednesday as they lost to rivals Real Madrid.

    Springfield Park in Greater Manchester stood for 102 years before it was demolished 24 years ago.
    It was Wigan Athletic’s home for 67 years, hosting Championship and League One level football for several years.
    In its early days, the ground was shared by four football clubs – Wigan County, Wigan United, Wigan Town and finally Wigan Borough.
    The Lactics moved in 1932 and stayed until 1999, eventually moving across town to the current DW Stadium.

    Back in the day, 30,433 fans packed into a maximum capacity Springfield Park for an FA Cup tie against Sheffield Wednesday in 1929.
    And in 1953, the stadium played hosted to another record-breaking cup tie between Wigan Athletic and Hereford.
    That day 27,526 supporters turned up, which was the highest ever attendance for a match between two then non-league teams at a non-league ground.
    Springfield Park was not just steeped in football history as it also hosted rugby, cycling, horse trotting, wrestling and athletics.

    Wigan’s Rugby League club played there in the early 1900s and Springfield Borough used the venue for one season in 1988.
    Behind the goal, fans stood on a unique banking that was 2.1m high.
    It was actually part of the old concrete velodrome track that was there when it hosted cycling races.
    Wigan local Benjamin Jones regularly raced there and he later went on to win two Olympic gold medals at the London 1908 Games.
    The ground was sadly demolished just a year after Wigan relocated a 25 minute walk away to the DW.
    It has now been turned into a suburban hosing estate and homes were fresh on the market in 2001.

    Ex-Celtic star’s wife says Jack Grealish mansion raid brings back break-in hell

    THE wife of ex-Celtic ace Kris Commons has told how a £1million raid on Jack Grealish’s home triggered terrifying memories of a raid on her pad.Lisa Hague, 38, was a big part of their recovery after thugs forced their way into her three-storey villa in Bearsden, Dunbartonshire.
    Lisa, 38, and ex-Celtic ace hubby Kris Commons, 40, and their three kids were in bed when raiders forced entry to their home and stole their motors
    Lisa says the family felt uneasy until they left Scotland after the break-in
    Commons spent six successful years with Celtic
    She was in bed alongside the former Hoops star and their kids slept on the floor below when the crooks swiped designer handbags, an Audi, Mercedes and Range Rover.
    She said the Man City ace will be left rocked by the theft.
    Lisa told The Scottish Sun on Sunday: “Cars, bags and jewellery can all be replaced.
    “The worst thing about being targeted like this is the way it makes you feel.

    “It’s sickening and leaves you feeling really violated.
    “I kept on running through how much worse it would have been if they had gotten upstairs to the kids.
    “You torture yourself and the feeling stays with you for a long time.
    “It never left us the whole time we were in Glasgow.

    “Jack should take whatever steps he needs to make sure he feels safe.”
    Midfielder Commons was in the middle of his six-year stint as a Celt when at least four people burst into his house at 4am on a Sunday.
    His three children were aged between one and three and were asleep on the first-floor when the thieves got in then sped off in three luxury motors worth up to £200,000.
    Lisa and Kris’ daughter April was three at the time of break-in, while boys William and Jax were two and almost one.
    Their gloves and winter hats were tossed from the motors’ windows as the gang fled.
    Commons beefed up security at the property, including installing state-of-the-art cameras and alarms.
    Two of the cars were recovered but nobody was ever caught for the break-in in November 2013.
    Lisa added: “It makes me angry nobody was ever caught.
    “We’d be out and people would be staring at Kris because they knew who he was.
    “I would drive myself mad wondering if they were looking because they knew something.
    “It took a long time for that to go away.”
    We told how the £5.6million Cheshire home of England star Grealish, 28, was raided on Wednesday while he was playing for Manchester City at Everton.

    The player was battered after confronting four raiders who broke into his home in Hale, Greater Manchester, while he was there with his family.
    The Spanish boss said of the spate of break-ins: “It has ­happened to Manchester United players as well. I don’t know much about London but it’s happened there.
    “They have security. But unfortunately it’s happened — it’s happened many times.
    “In the UK, in Catalonia where my family lives, many things happen. Today you have to be careful, definitely.
    “Unfortunately it happened with Joao Cancelo, which was so scary because the family was being attacked.
    “Jewellery, money, whatever — it’s tough — but the family being there is tough to process for Jack, as it was with Joao.”
