Fabinho was presented with a Rolex watch after impressing on his Saudi Arabian Super League debut, although he accidentally removed the gift moments later, sending it crashing to the ground.
The 29-year-old Brazil international, who joined Al-Ittihad from Liverpool last month for €45m, joined N’Golo Kante in midfield as Nuno Espirito Santo’s side claimed an easy 3-0 win against Al- Raed.
After the final whistle, the former Monaco midfielder was heading for the exit when he was stopped by a fan of his team.
Then, to Fabinho’s great surprise, the fan decided to give him a Rolex watch, placing it on his hand.
But as you can see in the footage below, that expensive watch fell to the ground as he left after not putting it on properly.
Fabinho was gifted a Rolex by a fan because he played well… A FAN.

Alternatively, earlier this year former Al-Hilal striker Odion Ighalo gave us an insight into how the Saudi side travel to matches when he filmed his journey on the luxury Boeing 747-400 plane.
The 34-year-old, who has played in the Middle East for two years, posted the 90-second lap inside the private Boeing 747-400, which is leased by Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.
According to the website Aeroaffaires, the plane is believed to cost $220 million.
