Arsenal opened the 2021/2022 season with a 2-0 defeat to the newly-promoted side.
The Gunners have a sponsorship deal with the Rwandan government, with the words ‘Visit Rwanda’ inscribed on the Arsenal jersey.
The last time Arsenal played in the UEFA Champions League was in the 2016/2017 season and they missed out on European football entirely for this campaign after finishing eighth in the Premier League last season.
“What?? It's football, it's a loss of Arsenal at/to Brentford. Brentford deserved to win and they did. The game itself aside, Arsenal and the fans don't deserve to kind of get used to this... NO!!! I say this as one of the big[gest] fans of Arsenal. The change has taken too long to come,” Kagame tweeted.
“It's been a struggle of about decade(s) – ups and downs – more downs until this point. Can't we have a plan that really works?? One part to look at is how we deal in the market – players we buy to execute the plan. The touch-and-go mentality does not bring change.”
“We just must NOT excuse or accept mediocrity. A team has to be built with purpose to win, win, win. So that when we lose... it was not to be expected! I am sure we all know on whose shoulders the heaviest burden rests. I hope they know too, or even accept it!!!”
Arsenal’s next two games are against Chelsea and Manchester City.
