While in Miami last Friday, Kim, 42, and seven-year-old Saint – son of ex-husband and rapper Kanye Wes – saw Messi net an incredible winner in the final moments of the game.

Saint was also seen wearing a Miami shirt with the No.10 on the back with Messi’s name on it.

Kim kept it casual in a baggy pair of denim jeans and a cropped white T-shirt as she made her way into the game.

The Hulu star had her long black hair pulled back into a ponytail and hid her face behind a pair of reflective sunglasses.

She had a pink belt tied around her tiny waist.

The match saw plenty of other world-famous faces in attendance such as LeBron James, Serena Williams as well as David and Victoria Beckham.

Before the game, Kim revealed that she used to play and that Saint also loves the sport.

She told Apple TV: “All summer we’re going to different exhibition games.

 

“I played soccer for five or six years. I was goalie – and center-forward – I wasn’t bad, you know!”

“I loved it, so I’m happy that my boy loves it – and that we can come. They’re excited and that just makes me so excited.”

After the game, Saint was gifted a signature from Messi as he signed a Miami shirt for him.

The pair, along with Saint’s friend, then jetted straight off to Japan.

Kim and co were in position to watch Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr play out a 0-0 draw with Ligue 1 champions PSG on Tuesday.

They were not able to watch Kylian Mbappe due to his banishment from the team due to the ongoing speculation over his future.

They did however meet Ronaldo superfan IShowSpeed while in the stands.

Speed asked Saint why he was wearing a PSG shirt, to which he replied: “Because I am going to meet Neymar first.”

Speed then questioned if Saint was also a fan of Ronaldo, leading Saint to admit: “Ronaldo’s my GOAT”.

Kim was asked who she preferred out of Messi and Ronaldo, to which she diplomatically said: “Both”.

They then posed for a photo together while the game continued behind them.

While watching the game, Saint even managed to get a wave from PSG star Neymar, who was on the bench.

Kim posted updates of the trip on her Instagram story for her 362million followers on the platform.

Her increased interest in football has led to fans to speculate that there is a “curse” following her.

It was first noticed when she popped up at an Arsenal match in March.

She watched the Gunners crash out of the Europa League against Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon.

Arsenal fans instantly blamed Kim for the club’s exit from the Europa League… and botched title bid.

PSG then succumbed to the curse as they suffered a shock defeat to Rennes as the TV superstar watched on.

Recently she was seen with Manchester City star Erling Haaland at a D&G event, leading to fans to speculate that he won’t score next season.

While Kim has a clear interest in football is it not known who she supports despite attending Arsenal, PSG and Al-Nassr matches.

The model was also spotted wearing a vintage Roma shirt back in January.

Kim also has three other children as she shares son Psalm, 4, and daughters Chicago, 5, and North, 10, with Kanye.
