“This evening at Parc des Princes in Paris, President Kagame attended the UEFA Champions League semi-final, where defending champions and Visit Rwanda global partner Paris Saint-Germain delivered a 5–4 victory over Bayern Munich,” reads the statement.

It remains to be seen if the Rwanda head of state will travel to Germany for the Champions League semifinal, second leg to be played on May 6 at Allianz Arena.

In June 2023, Kagame congratulated PSG for winning the UEFA Champions League title after thrashing Inter Milan 5-0.
