Prince William, the future king and a lifelong Aston Villa supporter, is expected to 'find a way' to watch his team in the Europa League final in Istanbul, it has been revealed. The royal was visibly delighted at Villa Park last Thursday as Unai Emery's side secured their place in the final with a stunning 4-0 victory over Nottingham Forest in the second leg of their semi-final.
Villa's Path to the Final
After a narrow 1-0 defeat in the first leg, Aston Villa produced a remarkable comeback at Villa Park. Goals from Ollie Watkins, Emiliano Buendia, and a brace from John McGinn sealed a 4-0 win on the night, sending the club to its first European final in decades. They will face German side Freiburg on 20 May, who narrowly overcame Braga in their semi-final.
Prince William's Reaction
The Prince of Wales was seen punching the air and singing along to Sweet Caroline as the final whistle blew. His excitement was palpable, and according to a Kensington Palace spokesperson, he is determined to attend the final. When asked if the Prince would watch the game, the spokesperson replied: 'Did you see his face last week? He will find a way.'
Prince William has been a vocal supporter of Aston Villa for years, and his presence at the final would be a major boost for the team and fans. The club has released an exclusive range of merchandise for the final, available at the Aston Villa Store.
