Fabinho was left shell-shocked by the gesture that he even dropped the expensive timepiece after making his Saudi Pro debut for Al-Ittihad
Former Liverpool midfielder Fabinho was clearly gobsmacked as an enthusiastic fan gifted him a Rolex watch after his display on his Saudi Pro League debut for Al-Ittihad.
The Brazilian looked assured as Al-Ittihad got off to a winning start, thrashing Al-Raed 3-0 on Monday night.
After the game, a fan waited for the 29-year-old in the tunnel as the players left for their team bus, before surprising him with the present.
