Given that her children are big Arsenal supporters, the US media star is no stranger to the Emirates Stadium, having been photographed there during a match last season.
However, the fans of Emirates are uneasy about Kardashian’s imminent arrival; many of them joke that she is cursed to be Mikel Arteta’s opponent.
Kardashian was present at Sporting CP’s heartbreaking Europa League match from the previous season.
But once they left, Arteta’s team lost six of their next ten games, allowing Manchester City to overtake the Gunners and win the Premier League for the third time in a row.
Kardashian’s decision to watch the quarterfinal on Tuesday coincides with Arsenal leading the table and facing a disorganized Bayern Munich team in two straight games.
Superstitious supporters, who had earlier fancied their chances against the Bundesliga team, took to social media with a sense of apprehension.
Regarding the prohibition on out-of-town spectators, one fan made the following joke: “Someone, please tell UEFA that she is a Bayern Munich supporter.”
One more fan wrote, “Nooooo, please don’t come.” One circumspect Arsenal supporter commented: “I recall what happened the last time she came!” I’m not interested in her coming around.
