Former Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio has hit out at those whom burgled his home at gunpoint.

Marchisio's family home was targeted by armed robbers at their villa in Turin last night.

He posted to social media:

“If you enter a person's home to rob them, you're a criminal.

“If you point a gun at a woman's face, you're a lowlife.

“If all you can make of something like this is an idiotic joke, you're a sad sack.

“To everyone else, a heartfelt thanks for your sympathy."
