The report says the most talked-about example came on 16 March 2023 at the Emirates, when Arsenal hosted Sporting CP in the Europa League.
That combination matters. Elimination hurts on its own. Losing defenders in the same game gives the coincidence more weight in the minds of supporters, especially when the visitors are celebrity guests rather than familiar football faces.
A few days later, reports suggest Kim, Saint and Kendall Jenner were at PSG vs Rennes in Paris.
That last detail links the wider story to Saint’s football fandom. He has repeatedly been seen around Messi, turning what could have been a one-off celebrity visit into an ongoing football subplot.
Reports say Kim took Saint to Messi’s Inter Miami debut in July 2023. Another update says Saint later walked out as Messi’s mascot before a game against LA Galaxy in February 2024. Add a Madrid visit and a recent Nike-themed social post, and the pattern is clear: this is not casual interest. Football is now part of the family’s public image.
With the 2026 World Cup scheduled across more than 100 matches over roughly six weeks, the next storyline is obvious. If Kim and Saint keep showing up, every result around them will be scrutinised - and every bad night will only make the superstition louder.
