Prince William and his son George displayed a wide range of emotions as they watched Aston Villa compete against PSG in the Champions League quarter-final in Paris.
The Prince of Wales was seen joyfully celebrating and embracing his 11-year-old son after Aston Villa`s Morgan Rogers scored in the first half.
However, later in the game, the Prince was seen looking dejected as PSG scored three impressive goals, securing a 3-1 victory to take into the second leg at Villa Park next week.
Before the match, Prince George mentioned he was `wearing his lucky clothes` for the game at Parc Des Princes.
George was dressed in a blue jumper over a shirt and a black jacket, complete with an Aston Villa scarf.
Minutes before the game, Prince William gave an interview to TNT Sport, admitting he was “pretty terrified” ahead of the important match.
The Prince of Wales mentioned that bringing Prince George to Aston Villa’s crucial game was a “big deal” in a conversation with commentators Ally McCoist and Rio Ferdinand.
When asked about his nervousness, he said: “I’m pretty terrified. This has been anticipated for a while, so it’s a significant game.”
“It’s been 43 years since Aston Villa reached this stage, a major European night for the club.”
“So yes, I’m nervous, but also confident and excited about the prospect.”
In a pre-match interview, when asked if it was a “lads tour”, William joked that he would be on his “best behaviour” because George was with him.
He responded: “Well, my son is here, so I need to be on my best behaviour.”
“But I thought, you know what? It’s been 43 years since anything like this has happened for Villa fans of my generation, and I want George to experience a big European competition night away from home.”
William shared with the commentators his prediction of a 2-1 victory for Aston Villa.
The Prince also greeted some Aston Villa players, including Marco Asensio and Marcus Rashford, as they exited the dressing room.
Prince William was also present at Aston Villa’s victory against Bayern Munich earlier in the competition and their away game against Monaco in January.
