The Gunners’ record goalscorer has pointed out why Mikel Arteta’s men could not defeat Thomas Tuchel’s side in the Champions League quarterfinals.
However, Kagame, a diehard Arsenal fan, is not questioning his loyalty following the heartbreaking result.
“Even when they bow out they are still my Club- #Arsenal. Congratulations- #FCBayernM,” Kagame posted on X.
Kagame was at the Emirates Stadium when Arsenal faced Bayern in the first leg on April 9 when the match ended 2-2.
The Rwandan leader has been vocal of his support for Arsenal on social media, with his posts on X about the north London club dating back to 2011.
His country sponsors the Visit Rwanda sponsorship deal that covers Arsenal’s men’s and women’s shirt sleeves, as well as the tourist board’s agreement with Bayern.
With the Gunners losing 2-0 to Aston Villa last weekend to hand the title initiative to Manchester City, Kagame will be hoping that his beloved Arsenal dust themselves up quickly and win against Wolves this weekend, to get their Premier League title charge back on track.
