Paul Kagame: Rwanda President Reacts to Arsenal's UEFA Champions League Exit Against Bayern Munich

• Arsenal have been eliminated from the UEFA Champions League
• The Gunners were beaten in Germany by old foes Bayern Munich
• Paul Kagame, the President of Rwanda, is a huge fan of the club

Rwanda President, Paul Kagame, has reiterated his support for English club Arsenal despite their quarter-final exit in the UEFA Champions League against Bayern Munich.

The Gunners suffered a 1-0 defeat in Germany, eventually losing the tie 3-2 on aggregate after Joshua Kimmich's second-half strike at the Allianz Arena.

Arsenal had travelled to Munich with hopes of eliminating the former German champions from the competition after a 2-2 draw in London last week.

However, the London outfit could not find a way past the solid defence of Bayern Munich.

"Even when they bow out they are still my Club- Arsenal. Congratulations- FC Bayern Munich," wrote Kagame on X, formerly Twitter, after the match.

Arsenal's exit from the competition means they have only the English Premier League to compete for after earlier suffering elimination from the FA Cup.

Meanwhile, they will face stiff competition from title rivals Manchester City and Liverpool, especially after the former also exited the Champions League at the expense of Real Madrid, as reported by US News.

The Gunners are, however, assured of a place in the top three of the Premier League following their performances this season.
