However, this isn’t the first time that soccer fans have blamed a loss on a certain curse.

Fans blame Kim Kardashian after PSG’s shocking defeat to Reims!

During the FIFA World Cup, the Drake curse was still in action. But Lionel Messi’s Argentina proved the entire fanbase wrong after winning the World Cup. Failing to predict the right result, the Canadian rapper ended up losing a million dollars on betting. Similar to this ‘Drake curse’ pattern, the fans have just discovered the Kardashian curse. Most soccer fans are blaming Kardashian for PSG’s loss.

A few fans have referenced this game back to the recent Arsenal game. Meanwhile, many others urged the American socialite to pay a visit to the Etihad Stadium, too. These are mainly Arsenal fans that are seriously believing the curse. They strongly feel that if Kim K visits the Etihad, Manchester City will start losing matches too. This will derail Pep Guardiola’s title challenge, making Arsenal the clear frontrunner.

Furthermore, PSG’s loss also ended one of Lionel Messi’s most incredible records with the French soccer club.

Which of Lionel Messi’s records did come to an end?

The Argentine soccer legend joined Paris Saint-Germain in 2021. Messi had surprisingly not lost even a single home game in more than 700 days, since joining the French side. PSG had earned 35 points from a possible 39 points after drawing three games apart from the sixteen wins. However, PSG is still the most likely side to win the title. Marseille in second place still needs to cover a seven-point deficit.

Apart from the Kim Kardashian curse, the fans believe that Christophe Galtier’s job might be in danger. That is mainly because PSG’s 2-0 loss against Reims was their seventh defeat of the season. After a tragic UEFA Champions League exit, the fans will at least expect the French giants to win the Ligue 1 in dramatic fashion.
