The Prince of Wales, 42, held a drink in his hand as he stood in a hospitality box at the packed out stadium.

Young Prince George, 11, donned a half-and-half scarf as he played with his hands nervously pre-game.

The pair took their seats as the match kicked off but were quickly left frustrated when PSG scored twice in the first 27 minutes.

William held his head in his hands as PSG defender Achraf Hakimi slotted home the first.

A second left the hopeful crowd stunned.

Despite the daunting scoreline, a big comeback is still on the cards as Belgian midfielder Youri Tielemans pulled one back in the 34th minute.

Aston Villa were outclassed in the first leg in Paris with a Morgan Rogers’ opener being ruled out by three good PSG goals which saw them take firm control of the tie.

Proud Villa fans have bee trying to play their part and host a European classic to help push John McGinn‘s men across the line.

The future King of England joined over 40,000 fans in Villa Park this evening – including over 2,000 French supporters.

Hopes are still high for a win with Villa on a 17-match unbeaten run at home in all competitions which stretches back to November 2024.

William and George also went to the first leg in Paris as they went through a roller coaster of emotions in the game.

The Prince of Wales was seen wildly celebrating and hugging his son after Villa’s first-half goal.

But later on, the Prince was seen with his head in his hands as the full-time whistle blew at 3-1.

William was in the crowd for Villa’s victory over Bayern Munich earlier in the competition and away to Monaco in January.

He first fell in love with Aston Villa after being taken to a match by friends as a boy.

The heir said he was gripped by the “sense of belonging” and the passion of his fellow football fans.

Wills also revealed he visits fan forums anonymously online — and moves his kids around when watching at home to bring the team luck.
