George Ruto, son of President William Ruto, was in Paris on Tuesday, 20 October, to watch the UEFA Champions League Group C match between Paris Saint‑Germain and Barcelona at the Parc des Princes.
He posted several Instagram Stories showing the packed stadium, the Champions League logo at centre‑spot and the “PARIS SAINT‑GERMAIN” lettering on the stands.
The match ended 4‑2 in favour of the French side, handing Barcelona their first defeat of the 2026‑27 campaign after 11 successive wins.
Official tickets sold out quickly, prompting fans to turn to resale platforms where prices rose sharply; upper‑stand seats were listed around €500 (approximately KSh 73,000).
Mid‑tier seats with good views, which appear to match the perspective shown in George’s posts, were priced between €600 and €850 (approximately KSh 87,000‑124,000).
Premium locations near the tunnel or front rows fetched €1,000‑1,300 or more.
Based on the visible seat location, analysts estimate George’s ticket cost fell between KSh 80,000 and KSh 130,000, though the exact amount cannot be confirmed from the images.
Among the highlights he shared was teenage Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal, whose goal he celebrated with a photo and a music clip.
