Reality star Kim Kardashian made a surprise appearance at the Emirates Stadium as she watched Arsenal take on Sporting Lisbon in the Europa League.

The world-famous influencer was spotted in the starts with her son Saint, who is said to support the north London team,

In the pre-match commentary, sports presenter Carrie Brown confirmed Kardashian’s presence, along with Saint, via an Arsenal communications officer.

Seven-year-old Saint is a fan of the north London club, Brown said, and was reportedly seen sporting an Arsenal strip at his birthday party in January.

“The other team news that seems to be setting social media alight – yes, Kim Kardashian is here, we can confirm now from the communications officer,” Brown said.

Pictures of Kardashian and Saint, who was wearing an Arsenal jersey, later circulated on social media.

She also later posted an Instagram story with pieces of Arsenal merchandise, with the caption “send help SOS”.

The reality star's presence in the stands did not lift the hosts, with a 1-1 draw after extra time following a 2-2 draw in Lisbon last week, and Sporting finally winning 5-3 on penalties after Gabriel Martinelli saw his spot-kick saved.

Kardashian’s appearance at the Premier League ground comes after Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola recently lamented Hollywood actress Julia Roberts’ apparent preference for Manchester United.

“I have three idols in my life. Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and Julia Roberts. These are my three idols,” the manager told a post-match press conference on Wednesday.

“Julia Roberts years ago came to Manchester – not in the 90s when Sir Alex (Ferguson) was winning titles and titles and titles. She came in the period where we were better than United, in these four or five years, right?

“And she went to visit Man United. She didn’t come to see us. That’s why even if I win the Champions League it will not compare to the fact that Julia Roberts came to Manchester and didn’t come to see us.

“Even if I win the Champions League it will not compare to this disappointment I had.”
