AN ELATED The crowd went wild when Prince William’s favourite team, Aston Villa, beat Bayern Munich in a big Champions League match.
Wills, a fan of Villans, went to Villa Park to see his team play against the Bundesliga giants, which was led by England captain Harry Kane.
It was seen that the 42-year-old Prince of Wales cheered for his team as they beat Bayern Munich 1-0.
Fans at home thought they had taken the lead when Pau Torres scored, but the goal was called off because the player wasn’t onside. William could be seen clapping and shouting.
With a goal in the 79th minute, Jhon Duran won the game as usual as a great sub. It was his fifth goal this season after coming off the bench.
People in Villa Park went crazy as they thought about that famous night in 1982, when Prince William led the cheers from the stand.
William said, “I’ve lost my voice,” after the game. I really can’t believe it. 42 years.”
Before the game, players from the 1982 Euro final met. In that game, Villa beat Bayern 1-0 thanks to a goal from Peter Withe.
Wills also had the chance to talk to Villa stars and get up close to the famous European Cup trophy.
The players paid respect by taking pictures with football shirts, one of which had the name of former striker Gary Shaw on it.
The football icon passed away earlier this month. He was 63 years old.
It had been a month before I was born the last time @AVFCOfficial won in the top European game, which Wills wrote online at the time.
“Let’s hope tonight is the start of another trip through Europe!
“My thoughts this evening are also with Villa legend Gary Shaw’s friends and family following his passing yesterday.”
The Prince of Wales put up the picture of the football stars on X, which used to be called Twitter.
He wrote, “42 years later, our stars from the 1982 European Cup win are here on a historic night for @AVFCOfficial.”
