WATCH: The Kim Kardashian curse is real! TV star watches Lionel Messi & PSG lose just days after attending Arsenal’s European exit

  • Ligue 1 champions in action against Rennes
  • Celebrity guests in the stands
  • Plenty of famous faces as Parc des Princes

WHAT HAPPENED? The American socialite, whose kids are big football fans, was a surprise guest at Emirates Stadium when the Gunners took in a continental clash with Portuguese opponents. The Kardashians have now crossed the English Channel and made their way to the French capital, where they got the chance to see Messi and Kylian Mbappe in action against Rennes.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: PSG are used to having superstar performers on the pitch at Parc des Princes, while the galaxy of stars at Christophe Galtier’s disposal ensures that they are always going to be a big draw for any celebrity guests. Having a Kardashian in attendance did not bring them good luck against Rennes, however, as Messi & Co slumped to a disappointing 2-0 defeat. The Kim curse clearly travelled with her over to Paris from London, as Arsenal also lost in her presence in London on Thursday. Sporting beat the Gunners on penalties in the Europa League round of 16 tie after the two teams were left locked at 3-3 on aggregate following normal and extra time in the second leg encounter at Emirates Stadium.

WHAT’S NEXT? Where will Kardashian end up next on her tour of European football? The international break is about to be reached, so domestic action is set to shut down until April.
