Kim kept her brunette tresses down in a natural curl while opting for a full palette of makeup.
Ever the doting mother, she wrapped both arms around Saint while watching the match, who she shares with ex-husband Kanye West.
Kim and Saint watched as Arsenal lost the match on penalties 3-5, following a 1-1 draw in the second leg and a 2-2 draw in the first.

But taking the power back for Sporting Lisbon was Pedro Gonçalves, who nabbed a goal in the 69th minute – before the match carried on to extra time.
