Arsenal fans have labeled Kim Kardashian a ‘glory hunter’ after hearing rumors she will attend their Champions League showdown with Bayern Munich tonight.
A Gunners fan account claims she is ‘planning to visit’ and shared a photo of her and her son West from an Arsenal match last year.
Kardashian watched Arsenal crash out of the Europa League against Sporting CP in the Emirates with her son in March 2023, but has also shown a fondness for Erling Haaland.
Fans appear to be against Kardashian attending their match with Bayern tonight, citing Rihanna as an example of an honest celebrity supporter.
Rihanna was present when Arsenal beat Everton 5-1 in February 2018, in a difficult season as they stuttered to sixth in the Premier League and parted ways with Arsène Wenger.

One supporter, on the other hand, called Rihanna a true fan and shared a photo from her visit to Arsenal in 2018, even though she was only there as a PUMA representative

The pop star met players and she was praised as a good luck charm, but she was only there as an ambassador for PUMA, it should be noted.
“Look at these glory hunters man… Rihanna was in the trenches with us,” one fan responded to the Kardashian rumors, showing a photo of Rihanna with Shkodran Mustafi and Sead Kolasinac from 2018.
“We’re done man,” wrote another on x, formerly Twitter.
“Someone’s stopping her,” said one staunch anti-Kardashian user.
“Please don’t attend,” said another.
“Someone please let UEFA know she is a Bayern Munich supporter,” one joked.
One somewhat dramatic commentator hinted at extreme measures to prevent Kardashian from replicating the Emirates’ move: “I’m calling the police.”
In fairness to Kardashian, there wasn’t much glory to be had as Arsenal crashed out of the last 16 of the Europa League on penalties when she was there last season.
Fans are against Kardashain attending the match and she is seen by them as a bad luck charm
Explaining why she was there, she said, “I try to find out what my kids’ passion is and go on a journey with them. I took Chicago and her friends to San Diego. They like the zoos and Legoland and stuff.
‘Luckily Psalm just goes along, you know. North loves Paris and fashion, so I took her to Paris. Saint loves football so I thought this was our trip. It’s going to be so much fun and it’s definitely a great bonding experience.”
She posed in an Arsenal shirt, presented by Eddie Nketiah, and her children were also decked out in the club’s kit.
They all revealed that Bukayo Saka is their favorite player in the current squad.
Some felt that Arsenal’s decline in form towards the end of the season represented some kind of Kardashain curse.
“Arsenal lost the title when Kim Kardashian visited them,” one user wrote. ‘That lady is just bad luck, especially for the boys she and her sisters have dated. “I feel sorry for the Arsenal fans who led the title race and ultimately lost it.”
She has also dropped hints that she and her son have a crush on Erling Haaland.

“I was in Italy and I saw Erling Haaland, and I went crazy because I knew my son would be so excited, it’s really his thing,” she told GQ.
“So I’m such a loser when FaceTiming at this event says, ‘Saint, you’ll never guess who I ran into.’ I’m Facetiming him and I’m like, ‘I’ve turned into this person who… it’s… I’m sorry.’
She also revealed how Cristiano Ronaldo is one of Saint’s idols, and that the pair enjoy watching Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami.
