Prince William reacted emotionally in the stands of Be\u015fikta\u015f Park to the victory of his favorite club, Aston Villa, in the Europa League final against Germany's Freiburg (3:0), UNN reports. <\/p>\n
The Prince of Wales was present at the Be\u015fikta\u015f Park stadium, where Aston Villa crushed Germany's Freiburg 3:0 in the final.<\/p>\n
After the final whistle, William could not contain his emotions as he celebrated his favorite team's victory. <\/p>\n
He is a long-time fan of Aston Villa, so he even broke into tears after the trophy was won. <\/p>\n
Later, in the tunnel area, William took a photo with the "Brummies" head coach Unai Emery and the Europa League trophy. <\/p>\n
The Prince himself wrote on the X social network: "An incredible night. Heartfelt congratulations to all the players, the team, the staff, and everyone associated with the club. 44 years since our last taste of European silverware. A special mention for Boubacar Kamara, who was out through injury but is such an integral part of our team and helped lay the foundations for this success." <\/p>\n
William previously stated that he has been a long-time fan of Aston Villa. <\/p>\n
\n"A long time ago at school, I got into football. I was looking for a favorite club. All my school friends were either Manchester United fans or Chelsea supporters. But I didn't want to follow their lead. I wanted a team that was closer to the middle of the table, which could give me more emotional rollercoaster moments. I have friends who support Aston Villa, and one of the first FA Cup matches I went to was Bolton vs. Aston Villa in 2000. It was a fantastic feeling: I felt the atmosphere, the camaraderie, and I really felt there was something I could connect with," <\/p>\n
William said. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Aston Villa captain John McGinn, following the victory, urged the Prince of Wales to celebrate this historic moment in style. <\/p>\n
\n"He's a great guy, he was in the dressing room before the game. It's brilliant to have his support, and he's just a normal guy. Hopefully, he can have a few drinks with us and maybe get his credit card out at the end of the night," <\/p>\n
McGinn said jokingly. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
