A couple of celebrity guests were in attendance as Arsenal beat Manchester City on Sunday, with Natalie Portman and Isla Fisher watching the game.
Arsenal took on Manchester City in a top-of-the-table Premier League clash on Sunday, and there were a couple of movie stars in the crowd watching on.
Arsenal fan Georgia Amison shared a picture from the box seats at the Emirates Stadium sitting alongside Natalie Portman and Isla Fisher at the game, with both actresses dressed in the new Arsenal Women’s away shirt.

This isn’t the first time Natalie Portman has had a brush with Arsenal, as she was photographed alongside Bukayo Saka at Wembley as the Lionesses took on the USA in October 2022.
Portman is involved in football as one of the owners and founders of Women’s Soccer League side Angel City FC, over in the U.S.
Other investors in Angel City include Christina Aguilera, Jessica Chastain, America Ferrera, Jennifer Garner, and Eva Longoria.
But when it comes to Premier League teams, it seems Saka might have helped to push the Star Wars, Thor, and Black Swan star in the direction of Arsenal.
As for Fisher, not much is known about her connection to the world of English football, aside from the fact she appeared alongside her husband – Sacha Baron Cohen – in the 2016 film Grimsby.
Cohen was spotted attending a match between Grimsby Town and Cambridge United in 2013, wearing a Grimsby shirt. But it’s believed he was simply scouting for the film. He isn’t necessarily a fan of the club, and neither is his wife.
With any luck, following Arsenal’s win over City, Fisher’s loyalties will be with the Gunners from now on.
